Postdoctoral Researcher at INSEAD
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France. I work at the intersection of labour economics, health economics, and the economics of innovation.
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France. I work at the intersection of labour economics, health economics, and the economics of innovation.
At INSEAD, I study how general-purpose technologies such as AI spread across firms and countries, and how scientific excellence translates into technology adoption. I focus in particular on the role of worker mobility and scientific talent, and on why Europe's research strengths do not always turn into technology adoption and growth.

My other research looks at how labour market conditions, public policies, and workplace environments shape mental health and well-being, with a particular focus on vulnerable workers and social inequalities. I am also interested in the social and ethical implications of workplace technologies, such as automation, AI, and wearable devices, and in how workers experience and accept them.

Highlights:
Visual Q-study explores workers’ ethical concerns about automation and robotics.
Study covers 90 workers in automation-related sectors across four countries.
Three distinct views on automation’s anticipated ethical consequences emerge.
Concerns span environmental and security risks, human-robot integration, and work dynamics.
Findings broaden technology acceptance perspectives to include anticipated ethical consequences.

Highlights:
Pension reforms delaying retirement increase late-career depression.
Job quality moderates mental health effects of delayed retirement.
Low-autonomy, insecure jobs with poor social conditions are the most harmful.
Supportive work environment and good job prospects alleviate mental health effects.
Aligning labour policies with pension reforms is essential for late-career health.

Highlight:
"...Notre étude apporte un message clair : l’impact des réformes des retraites sur la santé mentale dépend de la qualité du travail. Un allongement de carrière imposé dans de mauvaises conditions peut engendrer une vague silencieuse de mal-être et de dépressions. À l’inverse, un emploi de qualité peut faire de la fin de carrière une période utile et satisfaisante.
Alors que le vieillissement de la population rend inévitable l’adaptation des systèmes de retraite, il est urgent que les pouvoirs publics articulent les politiques de retraite avec celles du maintien en emploi.
Travailler plus longtemps, oui, mais dans des conditions adaptées."
