Ph.D. in Economics

Intro

welcome to my personal website.

I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the Business School UAI, Chile, specializing in corporate strategy, market design, and industrial organization. My research, rooted in game theory, explores how firms navigate competitive environments, optimize decision-making, and respond to regulatory changes. I also actively engage in interdisciplinary research to address strategic challenges in areas such as "Law and Competition Policy," "Organ Transplantation," "Corporate Strategy," and "Water Rights and Market Design," among others. These work aim to drive significant institutional reforms in Chile, demonstrating our commitment to research with real-world impact.

I have extensive experience as a board member and consultant in corporate strategy, antitrust, regulation, and market design, advising both private companies and public institutions. I have also served as an expert witness before Chile’s Antitrust Court and participated in key regulatory and arbitration processes. My expertise lies in helping organizations develop and implement strategic solutions that enhance competitiveness and ensure long-term success in dynamic markets.
