I am a professor of economics at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) and an affiliate professor of the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE) and the Center for the Studies on Planetary Wellbeing. I am also a researcher at the Institute for Political Economy and Governance (iPEG). Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California-Davis, I have been a visiting professor at Yale University and the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at LSE, and a scholar at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton. 

I work primarily on the economics of climate change, political economy, and welfare economics, with publications in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics, Theoretical Economics, and Climatic Change, among others. In 2015, I published Sustainability for a Warming Planet  (Harvard University Press), joint with John E. Roemer and Joaquim Silvestre.  This book was awarded the X Catalan Economic Society Award. 

I have actively engaged in many educational initiatives, having taught at UPF, BSE, Yale, INSEAD-Singapore, Korea University, and the University of California. Beyond the classroom, I have spoken on teaching innovation at international conferences and offered courses on integrating experiments in the classroom. In 2012 I received the Recognition Jaume Vicens-Vives for teaching quality and innovation from the Catalan Government. Currently, I am a member of the editorial board of the CORE-econ project, a co-editor of Experiencing Economics, and the Delegate of the Rector for Teaching Innovation at UPF.
