Welcome to my website! I am an applied economist specializing in agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa livelihoods, particularly focusing on farmers and rural households. Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. at Université Paris-Dauphine, delving into various aspects of agricultural economics using microeconometric methods.

My research focuses on behaviors of farmers and their decision-making processes. It explores several issues such as the diffusion of information by farmers, and the role of information on food security for farmers. I am particularly interested in decisions based on pro-sociality among farmers.

My Job Market Paper explores the role of external factors in influencing farmers' decisions through the analysis of the causal effect of refugee influx on farmers' labor market decisions in rural Niger.

I took part in the implementation of a lab-in-the-field experiment with Senegalese farmers to work on food security related questions, which emphasizes my liking for empirical research and practical interventions.
