I have supervised approximately 24 undergraduate and graduate students across Honors and Master’s programs (University of Melbourne), the APE Master’s program (Paris School of Economics), and research terms and pre-doctoral positions and Industrial Organization Option Reports (Mines Paris – PSL University).
I welcome students’ applications for supervision (internship, research assistance, or Honours/Master's/PhD dissertation). Currently, I do not have funding for RAs or interns. Contact me only if you have secured alternative funding (ENS etc.).
Requirements for Applicants (interns, RAs, Masters/PhDs):
A bachelor’s or master’s degree in economics, econometrics, or applied math (candidates with background in social sciences or sciences can apply, but then it is preferable that their interests are in environmental/resource/energy economics or political economy);
Strong interest for academic research;
Research interests in environmental and resource economics, energy economics or political economy, or ex-post policy evaluation (with a relevant background in econometrics), or data science. Particular attention will be given to students with good knowledge of Stata, R, Python, MATLAB or ArcGIS.
How to apply?
Please send a single email including CV + academic transcripts + research topic ideas (if any) + example of previous relevant work (if any, code smaple, thesis chapter, term paper) to my academic email address. The CV should include proficiency level in English, as well as the programming languages/software mastered by the applicant.
At Mines Paris – PSL, the doctoral program typically spans three years and combines research with doctoral training. Admission generally follows a standard process:
Identify a potential supervisor whose research aligns with your interests.
Discuss your proposed project with them and confirm their willingness to supervise your work.
Secure funding either independently, through a doctoral contract, or in coordination with your future supervisor. Some supervisors may already have funded doctoral positions available, so it is worth asking directly.
Once supervision and funding have been confirmed, applicants are usually required to complete formal oral examinations as part of the enrollment process.
The process should be planned well in advance, ideally beginning in February or March for enrollment in September or October. Visit here for more information.
The University of Melbourne: I no longer supervise students at the University of Melbourne. For more information on the doctoral program in economics at the University of Melbourne, visit here.
A few broad topics for dissertation/research projects:
Political economy of deforestation
Pricing of local environmental disamenities
Conflicts and natural resources
Political connections of firms and directors
Supply-side carbon mitigation policies
