Welcome to my personal website. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics and Business at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona. I am also an Affiliated Professor at the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics. My research interests mostly relate to Empirical Industrial Organization, Consumer Policy, and Quantitative Marketing. In my ongoing research I particularly focus on identification and estimation of firms’ supply behavior and on identification of non-standard consumer preferences.
