Welcome to this provisional webpage. I recently joined the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid as a visting associate professor after spending six years at the Universidad Carlos III. My main research interests are in the fields of labor economics, macroeconomics and business cycles. On this page you can find the latest versions of all my papers. In the next few days the page will contain a link to my new homepage that will contain more material.
