Welcome to my webpage!

I am a Full Professor of Economics at the University of Luxembourg. Before joining the University of Luxembourg, I was a Marie Curie Fellow at CORE, Université Catholique de Louvain. I earned my PhD in Economics in 2008 from CORE, Université Catholique de Louvain, through a joint doctoral program (co-tutelle) with Università degli Studi di Siena.

My research interests span public economics, international economics, microeconomics, and cultural economics. Specifically, I study fiscal competition between countries, tax havens and offshore financial centers, migration, cultural norm transmission, firm collusion, environmental economics, and gender dynamics. My methodological approach integrates theoretical modeling—particularly applied game theory—and empirical analysis using microeconometric techniques. The overarching objective of my research is to provide insights that inform policies addressing critical economic and social challenges.

In October 2024, I was ranked among the top 5% of female economists globally: https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.women10.html 

At both undergraduate and graduate levels, I teach a variety of courses, including Microeconomics, Game Theory, Mathematics, General Equilibrium Theory, Gender and Economics, and International Public Economics.

Since 2019, I have served as the Gender Equality Officer of the University of Luxembourg. Together with my team at the Gender Office, we played a pivotal role in the adoption of the University's Gender Equality Policy in May 2021. My research, advocacy, and promotional activities are driven by the conviction that gender-diverse research teams substantially enhance the scientific quality and societal impact of research outcomes.
