I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the Complutense University of Madrid, where I also work as a Teaching Assistant. I am a member of the research group Economic Analysis, Design and Evaluation of Public Policies from UCM and I also collaborate with the research group on Labor And Structural Transformations in Spain and the European Union LAST.

My research focuses on applied macroeconomics, labor economics, and applied microeconometrics. As part of my PhD thesis I am analyzing the impact of the 2019 minimum wage hike on Spanish firms, focusing on firm-level responses to labor cost changes. Another part of my thesis examines debt and investment cycles in non-financial corporations and its heterogeneous behaviour during the business cycles.
