I am Associate Professor (with tenure) at the Department of Economics of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili.

I obtained my Ph.D. in 2002 from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona after pursuing undergraduate studies at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and Université Louis Pasteur Strasbourg.

Before joining the faculty in Reus, I spent two years as a Visiting Scholar at the Kellogg School of Management of Northwestern University and taught at the Universidad de Alicante as well as Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Recently, I visited for six months the Department of Economics of the University of California, Irvine.

My research interests include political economy, public economics, incentives and health economics. My publications have appeared in the Journal of Public Economics and the Journal of the European Economic Association, among others.
