I am assistant professor at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Bogotá, Colombia.

My main research topics are Development Economics, Family Economics, and Environmental Economics.

I study how belonging to certain family structures, or social groups affects individual decision-making on intra-household resource allocation, and investment in natural resource protection. So far, my work has focused on Western Africa, especially Senegal, and on Colombia in its postconflict scenario, after 50 years of civil war.
