ABOUT ME
I am Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Texas at Austin.

My area of research is Empirical Industrial Organization with an edge on price discrimination. Most of my work makes use of theoretical models of nonlinear pricing to develop structural estimation methods that account for asymmetry of information and strategic interactions that firms encounter when they design their tariff options. I have applied most of my research to study telecommunications pricing, both under monopoly and competition.

I have also worked on the empirical measurement of complementarities and studied how learning-by-doing may influence optimal trade tariffs when governments cannot commit to future trade liberalization.

I have taught Industrial Organization (at various levels), intermediate Microeconomics, principles of Economics, as well as Microeconomics for MBAs.

On the personal side, I would say that I was born -some years ago already- in Málaga, Spain; I did my undergraduate studies at Universidad de Valencia, also in Spain; and later my Ph.D. in Economics at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL. Prior to joining UT, I taught at Universidad de Valencia, INSEAD, New York University, and The University of Pennsylvania. I am happyly married and have two wonderful children.
