In September 2024 I have joint Banque de France (Paris) as a Macroeconomist and Modeler,
and ESSEC Business School as Lecturer in Macroeconomics,
after obtaining my PhD at the Swiss Finance Institute and the University of Geneva.
I have been a Visiting PhD student at the Paris School of Economics until June 2024,
and a Visiting Researcher at the Climate Economics Unit of Banque de France until November 2023.
My research primarily focuses on sustainable finance, public finance, macro finance, and environmental economics. I am particularly interested in the interplay between environmental sustainability and public debt sustainability.
My main area of investigation is the impact of transition risk and/or climate risk on sovereign debt sustainability in advanced economies. This involves incorporating both transition costs and the economic damages related to climate change into models for fiscal limits. Additionally, I study the impact of alternative carbon policy mixes on GDP, the debt-to-GDP ratio, and the probability of default within the context of dynamic general equilibrium models with risky sovereign debt. This research also delves into how these phenomena might interact with the conduct of traditional or green-oriented monetary policy.
