Annual Meeting of the Peruvian Economic Association

Presenting the Land Reform paper at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Peruvian Economic Association was a meaningful milestone. The discussant's comments and the questions from the floor sharpened the empirical strategy and the framing of the contribution — exactly the kind of feedback that turns a working paper into something publishable.

Beyond the presentation, PEA is also where the Peruvian economics community gathers. Reconnecting with former colleagues, mentors, and friends from Universidad de Piura and IPA reminded me how much the path to economics is shaped by the people you meet along the way.
