Welcome to my website!
My research interests lie in two different distinct fields.
The first relates to environmental economics. I use the tools provided by the industrial organization theory and applied game theory, to study how to correct asymmetric information and its issues on green markets. With recent frauds to environmental norms with the "Diesel Scandal" and the rise of criticisms towards certain ecolabels, I am interested to understand how to enhance the credibility of the markets' signals related to environmental quality. These signals mainly rely on firms' communication and Non-Governmental Organization informative strategies. Green credibility is key to face the upcoming ecological challenges of the XXIe.
The second concerns political economics. The way institutions work plays a major role in the efficiency of resource allocation. From an institutional point of view, I am interested in studying the consequences of structural changes. From a political economy point of view, I am interested in studying the incentives and the abilities of the representatives to perform general well-being.
