I am a senior research fellow at the World Inequality Lab in the Paris School of Economics and the Western Europe Coordinator of the World Inequality Database.
My research interests cross public economics, macroeconomics, political economy, economic history and development. My work is based on social accounting and analysis. I mainly study how distributions of income and wealth between persons and sectors interact with the rest of the economy, its growth, and its politics.
