Researcher in Political Economy, Development Economics and Conflict Studies
I am a tenured researcher at the Institute for Economic Analysis (IAE(CSIC)) and an Associate Research Professor and Program Director for the Data Science for Decision Making M.Sc. at the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE). My CV can be found here.
My fields of interest are machine learning, political economy, development economics, conflict studies, and industrial organization. In my most recent research projects, I have analyzed how political institutions can make societies more robust, the channels through which violence affects the economy and how conflict can be predicted using millions of newspaper articles. Based on this last project we have launched the conflict forecast webpage which delivers monthly updates on conflict risks worldwide.
