ABOUT
I am a postdoctoral researcher at DREES (Bureau Lutte contre l'exclusion) and the ESoPS Chair (Université Paris 1). I defended my PhD at the Paris School of Economics and EHESS on November 15, 2024.
My research focuses on the measurement of poverty in high-income countries. My first working paper, "Who Feels Poor? Transitions into Poverty and Subjective Well-Being", provides evidence of a meaningful monetary poverty threshold at 80% of the median income, which is consistent with individuals' well-being.
More generally, I am interested in the determinants of poverty and extreme disadvantage, as well as the policy tools to combat these phenomena.
I am a member of the Scientific Committee of Conseil National des politiques de Lutte contre la pauvreté et l'Exclusion sociale (CNLE).
