Olivier De Groote

Welcome to my homepage. I obtained my PhD from KU Leuven and am now a professor at the Toulouse School of Economics and the director of the TSE Human Capital Center.

My research is on empirical microeconomics, within the fields of labor economics and industrial organization. I worked on educational policies (early tracking and choices of school/daycare/college) and environmental policies (solar panel subsidies). For this, I often applied and extended the literature on the estimation of dynamic discrete choice models.

Since March 2025, my research has been funded by an ERC starting grant: EDDYNCHOICE. This grant allows me to further develop dynamic discrete choice modeling of educational decisions.
