I’m an Assistant Professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and affiliated with the Barcelona School of Economics and the Barcelona School of Management.
My research in corporate governance examines how regulatory interventions, such as reporting requirements and corporate taxation, affect corporate strategy and market outcomes, with implications for accounting, finance, and management. My work has been published in leading journals, including three publications in FT50 journals.
Research areas: Corporate Governance, Financial Reporting, Corporate Taxation, Private Firms.
I also hold a Ramon y Cajal Fellowship from the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation, and co-organize the Barcelona Accounting Summer Workshops.
