About me

I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Economics at the Universitat de Girona and a member of the research group Economics of Inequality and Poverty Analysis (EQUALITAS). I obtained my PhD at the Universitat de Girona in 2025.

My research interests include poverty, inequality, applied microeconomics, public policy evaluation, labour economics and public economics. In my PhD thesis, I examinated the impact of school-meal programmes on children’s outcomes within the framework of the SCHOOL_MEALS project (further details are available on the project webpage). Additionally, I investigated how free school meals influence parental labour market outcomes.
