I am Professor of Political Science and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Social Sciences, Universidad Católica del Uruguay (UCU), and Instructor at the Methods Winter School at UCU.
My research focuses on the political economy of redistribution and inequality. I am interested in the study of comparative capitalisms, education & skills formation, crime and welfare, and the dynamics of distribution. I teach courses on political economy, econometrics and research design.
I have been a research fellow at the Universidade de Lisboa, Universidad Mayor de Chile and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. I am Founding Chair of the Department of Social and Political Sciences at UCU (2012-16) and member of the National Research System at ANII. I obtained my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2012). I currently serve at the REPAL (Red Latinoamericana de Ciencia Política) Steering Committee and Editor at the Latin American Political Economy Series, Palgrave MacMillan

MAIN CURRENT PROJECTS
NEW PROJECT: Big Data applied to public opinion surveys
This project (w/Rosario Queirolo) aims to create a longitudinal dataset from pooling public opinion data from 1993 to 2020. This is collaborative project with four Uruguayan pollsters (Equipos Consultores, CIFRA, Grupo Radar and Opción Consultores) and the ROPER Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University.
Funded by the Uruguayan Research an Innovation Agency (ANII), Fondo Sectorial de Investigación a Partir de Datos [FSDA_1_2018_1_154765] (2020-2021)

Book Project: Distributive Strategies in Latin America & Southern Europe
This project reveals the coalitional dynamics that give rise to varied paths of integration into the global economy in emerging market economies by comparing Latin America with Mediterranean Europe. The distributive conflict between labor, business and the state, accounts for the main distinction between models of capitalism. Although a rich tradition on the study of models of capitalism has developed in the last quarter of century, the scholarship has not engaged primarily in Latin America or in comparative accounts between this region and Europe or North America.

Skills Regimes & Employers' Coordination
This project, in collaboration with Aldo Madariaga (CIDE) focuses on the supply and demand of skills in Latin America, a heavily under-analysed topic. We compare the provision and level of skills in Latin America with those of advanced economies, and identify skills regimes in the region. Drawing on the growing comparative political economy of skills literature, we seek to understand the relation between these skill regimes and patterns of inequality and economic specialization. The project offers a first comprehensive characterization of skills regimes in a region characterized by low-skills, low-productivity and high-inequality.
