Bio

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Economics at the Université de Lille.

I am an applied theorist, and I enjoy collaborating with economists working in industrial organization, behavioral economics, and public economics. My current research studies how individuals make choices when they are aware of their own unawareness, that is, when they know there may be outcomes they cannot anticipate. In industrial organization, I study research patterns using topological models that capture competition for ideas between agents working on similar, but not necessarily identical, projects under different incentives. In the economics of crime, I study the principles that should govern optimal penal codes and the theoretical foundations of the endogenous relationship between police enforcement and the geographic location of crime.
