I am Serra Hunter Associate Professor at the Department of Economics and Business at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF). I am also an Affiliated Professor at the UPF Barcelona School of Management and the Barcelona School of Economics. I hold an Acadèmia d’Excel·lència (ex-ICREA Acadèmia) grant for the period 2016–2031.

I am interested in governance, corporate performance, entrepreneurship and accounting. My research was published in leading management and business economics journals, and has attracted funding from national institutions, La Caixa Foundation, and the CEIBS Cathay Cross-border Private Equity Research Fund. It was cited in The Oxford Handbook of Corporate Law and Governance and World Bank studies, and nominated for an award by the International Corporate Governance Society. My articles have been featured on the Columbia Law School Blue Sky Blog, Atlanta Fed Policy Hub, and in the press releases of the Strategic Management Society, among other policy and media outlets.

I teach graduate and undergraduate courses on Organizations and Markets, and Management Accounting and Control. Find more details in my full CV.
