Hi! Welcome to my professionnal webpage :)

I work as a senior economist at the Institut des politiques publiques in Paris, where I head the “Environment” team. This means that:

• I spend most of my working time mobilizing applied econometrics techniques in order to evaluate public policies empirically,
• and that in a lot of these projects, environmental aspects are a key feature of interest (technically, “environment” here mostly means climate change and carbon emissions).

I’m currently working on topics related to housing retrofit subsidies; decarbonization subsidies; carpooling practices; and the adaptation of social protection to climate change.

You’ll find an overview of my research here, and my CV here.

Also:

• I am an active contributor to the Openfisca community, a open-source framework to model tax-and-benefit systems, which I recommend you check out if you’ve ever harboured an interest in taxes (and transfers!)
• Together with S. Duchesne and L. Josseran at IPP, I maintain the Barèmes IPP, a database of legislative parameters
• I used to actively develop TAXIPP, a microsimulation software for the French tax and benefit system. I am not really active in this domain anymore, but I am still keen on discussing microsimulation techniques.
