I received my PhD in Economics from Toulouse School of Economics, under the supervision of Jean-Paul Azam. My dissertation consists in three essays on the economics of HIV/AIDS.

Research fields:

• Applied Microeconometrics
• Development Economics
• Health Economics
• Experimental Economics

 On top of the works on the role of non verbal communication in economic exchange, my research mostly deals with the economic problems of developing countries, in the following areas:

HIV/AIDS epidemic: – How do road proximity affect the individual’s HIV/AIDS-knowledge and risk of HIV-infection? Why are the incentives to invest in self-protection so low in Subsaharan Africa? How does the distribution of spousal age differences matter? Does female empowerment prevent women from being infected?

Shocks and Risks– How do political crisis affect human capital? How do household adjust their demand for schooling while facing a shock?

Targeting– How to identify chronic and transient poor households to design effective targeting scheme?
