Welcome to my webpage!
I’m a Professor of Economics at Universitat Pompeu Fabra and the Barcelona School of Economics. I’m also vice-president of the Spanish Economic Association, and president-elect of the European Association of Labour Economists (EALE).
My research is in the fields of labor, public, and health economics. You can find my google scholar profile here.

New version available of our paper “Changing Gender Norms across Generations: Evidence from a Paternity Leave Reform” (July 2026)
Check out my two just-accepted papers in the Review of Economics of the Household (June 2026):
“Did they even know it was harassment? Shifting perceptions through information” (with Aysu Avci and Lídia Farré).
“Paternity Leave and Fathers’ Behavior: Evidence from Leave Timing and a Major Sports Event” (with Luis Guirola and Laura Hospido).
Check out this nice short video from a recent conference where I talk about my research, and this interview where I discuss the effects of paternity leave policies.
