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



Welcome to my webpage! I am an economist at the French High Commission for Strategy and Planning. My research focuses on family economics, demography, family policies, and gender inequalities. I am particularly interested in how gender norms and public policies shape employment trajectories, household behavior, and children’s living conditions.


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.
