Short Bio:

I was born April 4, 1974, in Montevideo, Uruguay, spent my childhood in Lima, Peru and returned to Uruguay in 1988. There, I earned a BA in Economics from the Universidad de la República, Montevideo, in 2000, taught courses in Econometrics, Introduction to Economics, and Health Economics at various universities, and worked for the National Institute of Statistics, the Central Bank, the Rectorate of the Universidad de la República, and the Ministry of Industry, Energy, and Mining. In 2002, I started graduate studies at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain, obtaining a MSc and PhD in economics (dissertation: Essays on Trade, Productivity, and Specialization, supervised by Antonio Ciccone), and teaching courses in Econometrics and International Economics. From 2007 to 2009, I was the Counselor for Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia at the Board of Directors of the Inter-American Development Bank. Since 2010, I work in the Department of Statistics at the International Labour Organization, where I am responsible for carrying out a work programme on the development of short-term decent work indicators. I am married and have one daughter.
