Welcome to my home page.
I am working as an academic economist at INRAE in
the Paris-Saclay
Applied Economis research unit, where I am a senior research
fellow.
My main research topic is the dynamics of agricultural markets.
My work deals with two separate issues: the short-run and the
long-run dynamics of agricultural markets. Regarding short-run
issues, I study the causes of commodity prices volatility and the
design of stabilization policies. On long-run issues, I work on
global food security and international trade in agricultural goods.
