Hi! I'm an Economics Ph.D. student at Cornell University. My supervisor is Ezra Oberfield.
My research interests are Macro Development, International Trade, and Labor Economics. In particular, I study how skill- and firm-level upgrading shapes the ability of firms to diversify their product portfolio and improve quality in order to export to more sophisticated destinations.
I hold an M.A. in Economics from Universidad Nacional de La Plata and a B.A. in Economics from Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina).
You can reach me at cil35@cornell.edu. Here is my CV.
