Economist, Haut-Commissariat à la Stratégie et au Plan (High Commission for Strategy and Planning)



Welcome to my webpage! I am an Economist for the French Prime Minister’s Office, at the Haut-Commissariat à la Stratégie et au Plan. My research interests are in the fields of family economics, gender, applied econometrics and empirical microeconomics. My Ph.D. research was funded by the Institute for Inspiring Children’s Futures.


More about me

As an applied economist, my thesis explores how gender norms and public policies shape maternal labor supply, occupational sorting, and investments in children. Across three empirical chapters, it examines the individual- and household-level mechanisms through which beliefs and institutional constraints affect economic behaviors, using evidence from the United Kingdom (UK) and France.

Prior to embarking on my Ph.D. journey in July 2021, I worked as a Data Manager, within the French Institute for Demographic Studies (Ined), on the DICE project in Paris (France). My experience with the DICE project solidified my passion for research, especially in the realm of parental investments and their social and gender-related implications.
