I am an associate professor in behavioural economics at Montpellier Business School and a researcher at the Center for environmental economics in Montpellier.  I am also an affiliated researcher at the Academy of Economic Studies in Moldova, lab^2 (Berlin), and iRisk (Lille). I received a PhD in economic analysis of institutions from Collegio Carlo Alberto (University of Turin) and the University of Montpellier.

My research focuses on the relationship between citizens and public institutions, particularly in areas such as public service take-up, reporting of wrongdoing, and civic engagement. I also collaborate with private companies to design and evaluate policies to increase socially responsible behaviour. 

I've co-founded Behavioral Insights for Policy Moldova (BiP Moldova), a policy-oriented research centre committed to applying behavioural science to policy with partners from Moldova and the Eastern Europe region.
