Gustavo’s research topics includes trade and migration policies, crime and conflict, and fiscal federalism.
My research centers on Political Economy, Economic Development and International Economics. I am not only interested in understanding how institutions influence economic outcomes, but also in the determinants of institutions and institutional change.
In particular, there are three lines of research in which I focus my work: (i) economic structure and institutions, (ii) institutions and public policies, and (iii) experimental political economy.
