Julia Hélie

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at ENS de Lyon, in the Department of Economics and the Center for Economic Research on Governance, Inequality and Conflict (CERGIC). My current work focuses on reelection incentives, corruption and natural resource governance.

I completed my PhD in Economics at the Paris School of Economics (PSE) in 2025, under the supervision of Jérémie Gignoux and Oliver Vanden Eynde. In Spring 2024, I was a visiting scholar at Harvard, hosted by Vincent Pons.
