I am currently Associate Professor (maîtresse de conférences) in Economics at Université d'Orléans and LEO (Laboratoire d'Economie d'Orléans) .

My main research interests are in Environmental Economics and Macroeconomics, with a focus on the mutual interactions between the environment, economic growth and inequalities as well as on the consequences of environmental policies on these dimensions. Particular channels examined include health, human capital, population and international trade.
