Welcome

Presently, I am Associate Professor in the Department of Economics and Management from the University of Rennes 1, in France. I am also a research fellow of CREM (Center for Research in Economics and Management), a CNRS team. I have created and currently manage with David Masclet an experimental economics lab, the LABEX (LABoratory for EXperiments in economics and management).
I have a blog about economics, expeconomics, where you can find also some elements about behavioral economics, classroom experiments, laboratory experiments and miscellenaous things treated in a funny manner, as far as I can!- (this blog is essentially written in french!).
You can join me at this mail.

Research activities

My research fields are basically behavioral economics with applications to transport economics, industrial economics and public economics. One key question of my research is about information impact concerning decision making processes for individuals or groups. As a method, I use very often experimental economics as you will see in my recent papers. Here a short cv.

Some recent papers (since 2006), published or not:

Teaching activities

My main teachings relate to applied microeconomics, public economics or transport economics. In some of these curses, classroom games are used to illustrate theoretical analysis and to have some statistical data. Presently, my curses in the Department of Economics are the following:
  • Economics of Risk and Uncertainty, for students in applied mathematics (MASS),
  • Cost-Benefit Analysis,
  • Transport Economics,
  • Experimental Economics,
  • Regulatory Economics,
  • Transport Environmental Costs.
