My main research area is economics and, particularly, population and family economics, labour economics and well-being. I have specific interest in intra-household allocation and inter-generational transfers, as well as in the labor supply of individuals and the measure of well-being indicators. I am also working on demographic issues of the population, as well as on urban mobility problems. My approach is both theoretical on the basis of the microeconomic models, ande quantitative by using econometrics methods. From my empirical approach, I usually work with European and American (North-America and Latin American Countries) data
