I am a Professor of economics in the Institute of Economics and Management at Nantes University. My research focuses on central bank communication, central bank decision-making process and media economics. I have been particularly interested in how computational linguistic tools (topic modeling, sentiment analysis, cognitive mapping...) can help gain some insights on how central banks and the media affect market perceptions and public beliefs about monetary policy. More recently, I started working on the link between monetary policy and issues such as climate change and racial inequality in the US.
