“Gonzalo Ballestero, Ph.D. student in economics, is featured in La Nacion. He is advising the Argentine authorities in the reform of their centralized assignment mechanisms for medical students to residencies.”

Gonzalo is working on matching market design.He is currently writing a paper on residency matching in Peru. The article below tells that he helped Argentine authorities to figure out that their mechanism for assigning residencies prioritizes foreign trained doctors, even though they are more prone to leave the country after completing the residency (according to surveys). I hope that in the long run this may also lead to an academic paper.
