Institution: INRAE | DEPT: ACT
Director of Economic Research
Activity history:
My initial training was in functional ecology. In particular, my PhD focused on the development of a forest management module within a global vegetation model. In parallel and subsequently, I became a specialist in climate economics, holding positions with the Environmental Defense Fund, the Papua New Guinea delegation to the United Nations (UNFCCC) and CDC Climat - a subsidiary of Caisse des Dépôts dedicated to carbon markets and other climate change mitigation policies. I continue to act as a UNFCCC accredited auditor for national greenhouse gas inventories and as an expert on land use policies for the European Union.

Research interests:
My research focuses on the economic and environmental impact of food production and consumption, with a particular interest in certified value chains (e.g. PDO, PGI, organic farming). I'm particularly interested in

- The economic and environmental impact of food production:
- The integration of carbon storage and land-use change into impact models and environmental labeling
- The causal effect of certification (e.g. PDO, PGI, organic farming)
- The uncertainty, costs and inefficiencies associated with control rules in carbon pricing mechanisms
- Consumer behavior:
- Incentives for consumers to improve the nutritional and environmental quality of their food
- Consumer behavior towards certified food
- The environmental and nutritional quality of collective catering (e.g. school canteens).
