About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Lorraine. My dissertation digs into the ways in which our comprehension of the human mind sets and constrains the role of public policy. Our theories of the mind, our openness to its diverse dynamics, and the effectiveness of policy... towards a more charitable way of accompanying human beings.

About my research

I study how individual epistemics and both a resource and a binding constrain for political institutions. Right now, I'm doing it by looking at (i) the psychological underpinnings of Nudge economics, (ii) the epistemological consequences of Hayek's theory of the mind, and (iii) the possible contribution neuroeconomics may offer to our political and economic understanding of the world. More largely, I want to study the cultural requirements of institutional pluralism and the consequences of moral traits on long-term social development.
