short bio
I started my career as CNRS researcher in 2005, and became University Professor in 2006 (through a French National Contest- "Premier concours national d'agregation pour le recrutement des Professeurs d'Université en Sciences Economiques"). I was Professor at the University of Haute Alsace between 2006 and 2009 and at the University Paris Nanterre between 2009 and 2019.
Former student of Ecole Normale Superieure Paris Saclay (Cachan) , I graduated from a Master in Economics at University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne and Ecole Centrale Paris in 1997 and obtained my PhD in Economics in 2001 at University of Lyon. I was nominated Best Young Economist by Le Monde/Cercle des économistes in 2010, and received the title of Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite in 2014, and best young researcher in 2002 (Lyon).
