Welcome!
I am currently an Associate Professor of Economics at the School of Economics and Management (IAE) of Nantes Université. I obtained the Qualification to Supervise Research (HDR) in March 2023. The title of my HDR thesis is:
"Social Networks and Economic Behavior: Theory and Applications".
The defense committee was composed of Nizar Allouch, Frédéric Deroïan, Jean-Christophe Péreau, Benoît Sévi, Thomas Vallée and Yves Zenou. Before that, I did my PhD at CIRAD after completing a Master's degree at Toulouse School of Economics.
