I am a full professor in economics at the Université de Paris 8 and fellow researcher at the Institut national d'études démographiques (Ined).
I teach courses in economic history, organization theory and introductory sociology (new!). 

As a researcher, I would describe myself as an eclectic economic historian, drawing from several domains: Economic History, history of science and knowledge, art history, and the history of economics. My research primarily focuses on:

• Eighteenth-century French political economy

• The French economy during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries

• The interactions between visual arts and social sciences during the interwar period

Methodologically, I am equally eclectic, employing both quantitative tools and databases, as well as narrative and literary approaches, often drawing from archival sources. A significant personal interest lies in the intersection of visual art and social sciences, particularly how ideas about the economy and society can be conveyed non-literarily, and how this approach has resurfaced in diverse contexts, such as the French Enlightenment, Weimar Germany, and New Deal-era USA. More broadly, I am intrigued by how the boundaries of legitimate scientific methods in economics have shifted over time.

By combining these varied interests and approaches, I aim to contribute a unique perspective to the field of economic history. 

At the present, I am engaged in two book projects, one on the physiocratic movement (a group of eighteenth-century intellectuals and economists) with Christine Théré (Ined), the other on French merchant capitalism with Arnaud Orain (EHESS).
