I am a Postdoctoral Associate in Economics at New York University Abu Dhabi and an affiliate of ThReD (Theoretical Research in Development Economics). I am a network economist who uses game theory to study how relationships shape economic decisions and institutions, particularly in developing countries. My current research examines informal insurance, formal coverage, and productive incentives. I am extending this work to workplace production and contracting.
I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market. My job-market paper, Who Bears Responsibility? Altruism, Risk Sharing, and Incentives in Networks, studies how the structure of altruistic ties determines who has incentives to exert productive effort when people share resources after a loss.
My paper Formal Insurance and Altruism Networks, coauthored with Yann Bramoullé and Frédéric Deroïan, was published in the Journal of Development Economics in 2024. My doctoral dissertation on formal and informal insurance networks received the AMU Thesis Prize.
Before joining NYU Abu Dhabi, I earned my PhD and Master of Research in Economics from Aix-Marseille University. I received my bachelor’s degree in Economics from the Toulouse School of Economics.
