Welcome

I am a professor of Economics at the Faculty of Business and Economics of University of Lausanne. I work on questions related to labor market policy, family policy, and social economics and teach empirical methods for economics and management. 

I am also presiding a Scientific Committee that assesses the changes to unemployment insurance in France, and (former) co-editor of the Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics (Check its impact).
