A (work in progress) page where I plan to post some papers and scientific projects
To know a little more about me, feel free to take a look at my CV.
I am now working for Oxera where I am mainly involved in financial regulation and competition projects (examples of projects include Insurance guarantee schemes, the takeover of ABN-Amro by Fortis and advice on spectrum auctions)
I hold a PhD in economics from Ecares-ULB entitled Three essays on the Economics of Science and Higher Education (advisor Mathias Dewatripont)
