I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Alicante. I received my PhD from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. My research aims to better understand workers' reactions to economic shocks and the causes of labor market inequality. I am particularly interested in how institutional features and policy interventions shape these dynamics across different groups of workers.

Research

Working Papers

  • From bricklayers to waiters: Reallocation in a deep recession

    show that workers’ ability to adjust to large shocks depends critically on local sectoral composition, and to introduce a novel reallocation index that captures individual workers’ outside options across sectors

  • Quasi-random matches: Evidence from dual labor markets

    With María Castellanos and Jan Stuhler

    The paper contributes a novel identification strategy that uses the timing of worker–firm matches to generate quasi-random variation in contract assignments, addressing non-random sorting in open-ended positions.

  • Escaping Temporary Traps: Evidence for Young and Adult Workers

    With Ferran Elias R&R Journal Public Economics

    The paper contributes causal evidence on how targeted reductions in non-wage labor costs affect firms’ contract choices and workers’ outcomes by exploiting a Spanish reform with age-based discontinuities.

Work in Progress

  • The End of the Iberian Exception: Populists and the Economy

    With Agustina Martinez and Luis Menendez

    This paper examines how Spain moved away from the Iberian exception by analyzing the interaction between economic shocks and political discourse. This project combines text data with large administrative datasets from Spain.

  • Internal migration and job instability

    This paper examines how job instability shapes internal migration decisions, using Spanish provinces and longitudinal administrative data to track workers’ short- and long-term moves.
