The opportunity to organize a conference this big taught me many lessons, but the most important one is what a great team Eugenia Andreasen, Humberto Martínez Beltrán, and I are 🤝. Couldn't have done it without them 🙏.

This meeting was also particularly special for me, as we not only had Christiane (a key member of my Ph.D. advisor committee at @ndecon.bsky.social) but also the SCE presented the 2025 David A. Kendrick Distinguished Service Award to John Stachurski 🏆. They have both made a huge impact on my career.

As part of the conference, we featured a full-day workshop on "Heterogenous Agents Models: A Toolkit for Policy Makers" jointly organized by Central Bank of Chile Research and CEMLA. A big thank you to Matias Ossandon Busch for his support.

This marked the first time the event was hosted in Latin America 👏. A huge thank you to our distinguished plenary speakers 🎤—Enrique Mendoza, Christiane Baumeister @ndecon.bsky.social , and John Stachurski—for their insightful contributions .

💥 What a week 💥! The annual meeting of the Society for Computational Economics at the Facultad de Economía y Negocios - Universidad de Chile was a resounding success 🔥, bringing together over 150 participants from more than 20 countries 🌎. (Thread 👇)

Consider a temporary negative shock to "non-tradable" income:
🔹 With perfect info, the best policy is often to RAISE taxes as this income falls (procyclical).
🔹 With imperfect info, our model shows the optimal tax becomes COUNTERCYCLICAL – the planner reduces taxes as this non-tradable income falls!

So why is this 'not knowing' the type of income shock so crucial in our model? Agents use available data (we model this with a Kalman filter) to guess. But their beliefs can diverge from reality!

🚨 Excited to share insights from a paper I co-authored with @juanherreno.bsky.social on why emerging economies often face financial crises or "Sudden Stops"! Just published in Journal of International Economics (@jintlecon.bsky.social )

Great paper. Bequest motives, medical issues, wage risks and marriage/divorce are important drivers of lifetime wealth.

Also, great to see the joint work on one of our great former RAs at the Bank— @johanatch.bsky.social

Looking forward to today’s seminar by @mdenardi.bsky.social on “Savings and Labor Supply Over the Life Cycle” at the Central Bank of Chile. Live transmission available, don’t miss it! 🚨
