I have worked on topics related to air quality, climate change, land use, transportation, waste management, water, and incentives for biodiversity conservation.  The research teams I led have been involved in different stages of policy implementation of economic instruments oriented to energy efficiency and biodiversity conservation. 

My research explores environmental taxes, the conservation of marine mammals, globalization and emissions, and lately: urban mobility and pedagogy for teaching Economics.

I have taught in private and public universities in Mexico and the USA and have used the online modality for over 15 years.

At CU Boulder, Economics has long been a concentration for students interested in finance or management consulting, and I am proud of that. However, I train my students to understand the power of economics to analyze and change our world way beyond the finance sector alone. I am particularly passionate about ensuring that every student is equipped to apply economics to a much wider range of topics, from sports to relationships to political engagement to American racial disparities to environmental justice.
