  • I am from Portugal and completed my Ph.D in Economics at the University of Rochester in 2009. My dissertation was about Dynamic Labor Supply and Strategies. 

    Concluding my Ph.D, I spent one year working at ITAM in Mexico City, and I arrived at Trinity in 2010. My research focus is currently on dynamic implications of labor supply decisions.
