I am a French economist. I am interested in personnel and labour economics, social influence and the diffusion of opinion, economic growth, the meta-science of economics (incl. open science), and the (personnel) economics of defence.
I have resumed working on my PhD (more details here) at CEREFIGE at the University of Lorraine (Nancy, Lorraine, France). My PhD is funded by the ANR grant Wave (ANR-23-CE26-0021, ANR is the French National Research Agency) and is supervised by Patrice Laroche and Anne Stévenot.
I am also an adjunct professor in economics at the Department of Law, Economics, and Management at the University of Lorraine and a junior partner and the consulting editor at Standard Error Research Editors (Chicago, United States).
Finally, I am involved in local politics in Nancy with Mathieu Klein.
On my spare time, I enjoy hiking, photography, travelling, roller coasters and theme parks — among other things.
Notes
I write about academic economics, R, and the Atmosphere.
