Pursuing a Master's degree at Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) was a leap into one of Latin America's most rigorous economics programs. The intellectual environment, shaped by a strong tradition in economic theory and empirical work, pushed me to develop the technical toolkit that now underpins my research.
Living in La Plata — a city that feels at once provincial and cosmopolitan — offered a window into Argentina's remarkable economic history and its ongoing challenges. The contrast between the formal models studied in seminars and the economic realities visible on the streets was a constant reminder of why rigorous empirical work matters.
