🧮 Economist | Applied Econometrics, Causal Inference & Public Policy Evaluation
Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by — I’m glad you’re here. Lentement mais sûrement ! 🐢
I’m an economist with a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Le Havre Normandie, specializing in applied econometrics, causal inference, and public policy evaluation. My academic path started at the University of Lomé in Togo and took me through Clermont-Auvergne, Burgundy, and Le Havre before landing me in Normandy, where I currently work.
I currently serve as a Lecturer and Research Assistant at the University of Caen Normandie, teaching econometrics, statistics, and applied data analysis. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratoire d’Économie Rouen Normandie (LERN), where I evaluated the multiplier effects of local public investment on French municipalities using staggered difference-in-differences methods.
My research asks how structural reforms, fiscal policy, and public investment shape growth, employment, and inequality in both developing and developed economies — and how to measure those effects credibly. I’ve had the chance to turn that research into policy-relevant work for institutions such as the High Commission for Planning (Morocco) and UNU-WIDER (United Nations University), and I stay involved as a peer reviewer for journals including World Development and Kyklos.
Day to day, I work mostly in R, Stata, Python, and SAS, building reproducible pipelines for causal inference (difference-in-differences, event studies, matching, synthetic control, regression discontinuity, local projections) and panel data analysis.
Outside of research, I enjoy teaching, photography at the conferences I attend, and — slowly but surely — writing about the things I learn along the way. Take a look at my research, teaching, or blog, or feel free to get in touch if you’d like to talk about a potential project.
