Argentinian Days: M.A. in Economics

Two years at Universidad Nacional de La Plata gave me both a technical foundation and a community of fellow economists from across Latin America. The program's emphasis on empirical rigor — paired with deep training in microeconomic theory and econometrics — pushed me to think more carefully about identification, mechanism, and the relationship between models and the world.

Beyond the classroom, La Plata itself shaped how I think. Living in Argentina during a period of economic transformation made macro feel less abstract and more lived. Long discussions over coffee with classmates from Peru, Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina turned into research collaborations and lasting friendships.
