Since August 2006 I work at El Colegio de México
as Profesor-Investigador at the Centro de Estudios Económicos.
I teach the Labor Economics class, an optional course in the last semester of the Maestria en Economia. Since last year the
course is a mix of Topics in Labor and Health Economics. Furthermore, in the first semester I am responsible for the Statistics
course.
My main research interests are in the fields of labor and health economics, and in particular
applied micro-econometrics in labor and health.
Before I started at the SCP, I did a PhD in labor economics. In April 1995, after finishing
a Masters in Econometrics at the Erasmus University Rotterdam,
I started the PhD at the Free University in Amsterdam,
with Frank den Butter as promotor. During the time
as a PhD-student I was affiliated with the Free University,
in particular with the Department of Economics
(in that period the name Applied Labour Economics Research Team (ALERT) was used),
and with the Tinbergen Institute.
The defence of my PhD-dissertation took place on January 27th, 2000.
