I am Associate Professor of Political Science at the Department of Social Sciences, Universidad Católica del Uruguay. I obtained my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2012). I am also Founding Chair at the Department of Social and Political Science at Universidad Católica del Uruguay (2012-2016).
My work focuses on the political economy of redistribution and inequality. I am particularly interested in the study of comparative capitalisms, skills formation, welfare provision and the dynamics of distribution. I have a strong methods profile, in particular in the areas of econometrics and experimental design. My work appears, among other places, in Economics & Politics, Third World Quarterly, Journal of Latin American Studies, Latin American Research Review, CEPAL Review, Revista de Ciencia Política, Revista Reforma y Democracia, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and Springer.

MAIN CURRENT PROJECTS
Crime, Police and Citizens' Perceptions
This project, in collaboration with Jamie Monogan (University of Georgia), Juan Ignacio Pereira (UCU) and Diego Pereira (UCU) focuses on learning the short and long term effects of raid and saturation operations in the most troubled neighborhoods of Montevideo as well as to learn from a survey experiment about the effects of fear of gangs and confidence in the police on crime reporting behavior.

Skills Regimes & Employers' coordination in Latin America
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.

Book Project: Distributive Coalitions 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.

Social Media and Elections: Twitter-scrapping
The project, in collaboration with Martin Opertti, Cecilia Giambruno (graduate student of MA in Public Policy) and Nacho Borba (undergrad student of BA in Sociology) aims to learn how the electoral contest translates into the social media, in particular Twitter. We analyze sentiments, tendencies, networks and possible effects of social media in vote attitudes. We use R for web- scrapping and a varied analysis.
