Welcome to my website! I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Owen Graduate School of Management, Vanderbilt University. My research focuses on the intersection of human capital and asset-pricing, studying the size and riskiness of human capital, and measuring the effect that human capital has on the riskiness of firms. I also work on innovative instruments for financing education. My book Investing in Human Capital (Cambridge University Press, 2004), which was endorsed by Robert Shiller as “…the authoritative work on the revolution that is under way to integrate human capital into our financial system”, builds the case for using innovative financial instruments based on students’ future earnings to finance education. Lumni, a startup that I co-founded with Felipe Vergara, is a practical implementation of the ideas presented in the book. It currently finances students in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and the United States.
I teach International Corporate Valuation, Corporate Financial Policy and International Financial Markets to M.B.A. and M.S.F. students. Curriculum Vitae: cv.pdf Research Interests · Human capital and asset-pricing · Labor economics
