I am the head of the Economics of Nuclear Risk laboratory of the IRSN (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire). Our main areas of research and expertise are:

  • Assessing the cost of major nuclear accidents ex ante (simulations of hypothetical nuclear accidents in France) and ex post
  • Evaluating the social cost of facing a nuclear catastrophe risk
  • Experimental economics research on risk perceptions and attitudes

I hold a PhD in Economics from Sciences Po, supervised by Yann Algan and Claudia Senik. My doctoral dissertation deals with the determinants of wage inequality focusing on distributive preference at the workplace, fairness concerns, educational choices and discrimination.

I participated to the Trustlab network, an OECD initiative aiming at studying trust, political opinions and social preferences in several countries.
