Vizcarra came to
UVM in 2003. She received a bachelor’s
degree in economics and the equivalent of a J.D. degree in law
(egresada de licenciatura) from the Pontificia
Universidad Católica del Peru, and completed her doctorate
in economics at the

Urbana-Champaign in
2001. Her doctoral dissertation,
“Markets and Hierarchies in Late Colonial Spanish America:
The Royal Tobacco Monopoly in the Viceroyalty

North

agenda focuses on the role of natural resources and institutions in
Latin
