Welcome to my webpage where you can find information about my academic career, publications, working papers, projects, etc...
I am originally from a small city in Alicante, Spain, called Denia, where my heart belongs. I left Spain many years ago to study a Ph.D. in the States and graduated from Boston University in 1999. My research career has developed in Canada, and it focuses on labour markets, immigration, education and family economics. This work touches on exciting (to me) subjects, trying to answer questions such as what is the premium attached to education credentials? Does it pay to delay school? What is the contribution of immigrant women to Canadian fertility? What about their participation on labour markets?
I am involved with the academic economic community in many ways. I co-founded and served as director of the Canadian Labour Economics Forum (CLEF), a network facilitating research discussion and promoting networking opportunities among researchers in labour economics, from 2015 to 2022. I currently serve as Secretary of the Canadian Economics Association. I am also a Research Fellow of IZA and the immigration subject editor for IZA World of Labour a publication aimed at disseminating economic research in non-academic circles.
