I'm currently an economist at the Balance of Payment directorate of the Banque de France.

I'm also affiliated with the Collège de France, Economics of Institutions, Innovation and Growth Chair, as an associate researcher.

My main research interests are firm dynamics in an open economy context. In particular, I study how uncertainty affects their decision making and how their choices impact the diffusion of innovations.
