Political Economy & Brazil

I am interested in some aspects of the organization of political institutions, specially in Brazil. I have worked in the term length, and recall procedures.

I organized an Interdisciplinary Symposium about the Brazilian Political System.  One of my papers presented in this meeting received strong cover in Brazilian media.

Dynamic Economics (Quantile Preferences — Theory, Econometrics and Experiments)

I have developed (with Antonio Galvao) a model of dynamic quantile preferences, with many applications to different areas of economics, including finance, macroeconomics, consumption, econometrics, etc. The first paper that we wrote in this project was published in Econometrica, a little after the second paper written was published in the Journal of Econometrics. Since then, we have many other working papers and some published papers, with different co-authors.

Economic Theory, especially Decision, Game & Auction Theory

I have worked in different areas of economic theory, including auction theory, game theory, decision theory and market design. Some of those papers have established equilibrium existence in some auctions and games. I also have papers studying economic aspects of equilibria in economies in which consumers have some kind of special preference (not the standard expected utility).

Environmental and Energy Economics

I am also interested in aspects of market design for energy, specially electricity. I have published articles on this topic in important field journals, such as Energy Economics, The Electrity Journal, The Energy Journal and Energy Forum.
