A native of Barcelona, after obtaining his bachelor's degree from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), received a doctorate from UC Berkeley under the supervision of Gérard Debreu, and moved to the University of Pennsylvania as an Assistant Professor.

In 2001 he moved to the business school INSEAD in Paris and in 2005 went back to Barcelona with a research professorship at ICREA-UPF (Pompeu Fabra University). He has taught also at UAB and held visiting positions at Harvard University, the University of California at Berkeley and New York University. He served as Director of the Industrial Organization Program of the Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) in 1991-1997. He has been editor of the International Journal of Industrial Organization in 1993-1997, editor-in-chief of the European Economic Review (1998–2002) and of the Journal of the European Economic Association (2003–2008). Currently he is editor of the Journal of Economic Theory and co-editor of the Journal of Economics and Management Strategy.
