Welcome to my to webpage. 

I am a PhD student in economics at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra.  I also hold a position as research fellow at the Universitat de Barcelona.   

On this webpage you can find information on my current research.  It is focused on the macroeconomy.  Specifically, I have recently written papers on: (i) the relation between wealth inequality and the return to capital; (ii)  the effects that international commodity price upswings and downturns have on Sub-Saharan civil war likelihood; (iii) the link between population size and civil conflict; (iv) economic determinants of political transitions; (v) financial determinants of firm dynamics in Europe (this is just a short note); and (vi) how corruption and political checks and balances affect the link between economies dependence on natural resource exports and per capita GDP growth.
