I am a Professor of Economics at Mines Paris – PSL University. My research spans environmental and resource economics and political economy. In environmental economics, I study how climate policy shapes the extraction and use of fossil fuels, as well as the valuation of energy firms and the distribution of rents. In political economy, I investigate the private benefits and potential social costs of firms’ political connections.
My work relies on applied theory and empirical methods and has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, including the Review of Economic Studies, the Journal of the European Economic Association, and the Journal of Public Economics.
Beyond academia, I have shared my research findings and their policy implications through reports and seminars with policymakers and researchers in organizations such as the OECD, the World Bank, the Bank of Thailand, the French Ministry for Ecological Transition, and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. I also contribute to public debate through platforms such as The Conversation and VoxDev, and my research has been featured in media outlets including Le Monde, the Harvard Business Review, and Mediapart.
I hold secondary positions as Affiliate Professor (non-resident) at École Polytechnique, External Lecturer at the University of Amsterdam, and Honorary Senior Fellow at the University of Melbourne.
Before joining Mines Paris, I was a Tenured Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Melbourne. I also worked as a Research Officer at the London School of Economics and a Postdoctoral Fellow at École Centrale Paris. I received my PhD from the Paris School of Economics and hold Master’s degrees in International Relations from Sciences Po Paris and in Economics from PSE. I am a former student (“normalien”) of the École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay.
