Research

In my Job Market Paper I study the impacts on the academic performance of eighth graders in the context of a large and rapid inflow produced by the unprecedented exodus of Venezuelan families into Peru, where the two-year inflow of Venezuelans was equivalent to 2.5% of the native population. I make use of exogenous classroom assignment within school-year units to determine the effects of increased immigrant presence in classrooms on natives' academic performance. [Draft here].

I am also a co-Principal Investigator on a Randomized Controlled Trial in the Peruvian highlands related to Sexual Education for high-school indigenous-language speakers.

Before graduate school, I worked as a Research Assistant for a project about the long-term impacts of a colonial forced labor system on Peruvian firms' outcomes today.

Teaching

I have worked as a Teaching Assistant since 2013. Before Duke, I taught Intermediate Macroeconomics (UG) at Universidad del Pacifico (2013-2014) and then led Industrial Organization (UG) discussion sessions at Universidad de Piura (2016-2018), where I obtained a Certificate in College Teaching. At Duke, I have led discussion sessions in Microeconomics (UG) and Econometrics (G) and, for the latter, I provided guidance and feedback on student research projects.

Below is a list of my teaching experience at Duke, teaching evaluations are available upon request.
