I am a professor of economics at the Université of Orléans, deputy director of the Laboratoire d'Economie d'Orléans and director of the Department of economics.

My research explores various topics in the microeconomics of risk and time: intertemporal preferences (present bias, behavioral discounting), household finance, decentralized finance, insurance and savings (behavioral finance, retirement saving, taxation of saving, insurance markets), risk seeking (betting markets, lottery markets).


I am the author of a textbook on Insurance Economics (in French), in Ed Economica, collection Corpus Économie, octobre 2020, see Table.
