Short vitae (here for full CV)

I am a tenured researcher at Ecole des Ponts - ParisTech, working at PSE-Jourdan and I hold an Associate Chair at Paris School of Economics. 

I used to work at CERAS - Ecole des Ponts. Then I became Chairman of PSE-Jourdan in 2005, when it was created, and Program Director at the Paris School of Economics. I stepped down from both positions in 2010 and I am now back to research at PSE. 

Research  

My fields of interest cover applied theory (contracts, auctions, communication), industrial organization, the theory of organizations, political sciences and environmental economics. I have been Editor of the International Journal of Industrial Organization since 2004. I am a research Fellow at CEPR and a member of the CEDD. Since I resumed my research activities, I have started working on dynamic price discrimination with R.De Nijs, on auctions with resale and the applications to the allocation of pollution permits in a CEPREMAP project. In continuation to my previous work with J.Tirole, I maintain research projects in models of costly communication. Finally, I invest in the field of behavioral IO.
