About me

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Lille (LEM), under the supervision of Jean Beuve (University of Lille) and Stéphane Saussier (IAE Paris – Sorbonne). I am currently a teaching and research fellow (ATER) at the University of Lille, and I am affiliated with the ECHO Chair (Lille) and the Economics of Public-Private Partnerships Chair (EPPP, Paris).

My research lies at the intersection of public economics and organizational economics. I study how the governance of public investment shapes the outcomes citizens actually experience. By governance, I mean the contracts, procurement choices and partnerships through which public authorities deliver infrastructure and services. Using applied econometric methods and large administrative datasets, I examine:

• how transferring investment risk to private partners affects the pace of fibre broadband deployment in France,

• how municipal spending on education relates to pupils' performance,

• when public procurement improves regional outcomes across Europe, and how this depends on sectoral composition and institutional quality.

Research interests: public procurement, public-private partnerships, organizational economics, public economics, applied econometrics.
