In September 2024 I joined the Banque de France (Paris) as a Macroeconomist and Modeller,
and ESSEC Business School as a Lecturer in Macroeconomics and Environmental Economics,
after obtaining my PhD at the Swiss Finance Institute and the University of Geneva.
Before that, I was a Visiting PhD Student at the Paris School of Economics until June 2024,
and a Visiting Researcher at the Climate Economics Unit of the Banque de France until November 2023.
My research focuses on environmental economics, public finance, and macroeconomic modeling. I am particularly interested in the interplay between environmental sustainability and public debt sustainability.
My main line of investigation is the impact of climate-related risks, both transition and physical, on sovereign debt sustainability in advanced economies. This involves incorporating both transition costs and climate-related economic damages into models of fiscal limits. I have also studied the effects of alternative carbon policy mixes on GDP, the debt-to-GDP ratio, and the probability of default in dynamic general equilibrium models with risky sovereign debt. This research agenda also examines how these phenomena interact with the need for adaptation policies and with the conduct of monetary policy.
