About Me...

Hello! I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the Universidad de Concepción and an Adjunct Researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center for Aquaculture Research — Applied Research (INCAR^2). I study environmental and natural resource economics.

I have a PhD in Resource Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. After I finished my PhD, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow (and now as a collaborator) in the Future Seas Project at the Institute of Marine Sciences’ Fisheries Collaborative Program, University of California Santa Cruz, in collaboration with NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center.

In my research, I use empirical and theoretical methods, such as discrete choice models, experimental economics, and time-series econometrics, to analyze common pool resources and fisheries management, fisher behavior, coalition formation, price determination in natural resources markets, and the socio-economic impact of climate change on commercial fisheries.
