WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!
I am a senior economist at the Belgian Competition Authority (Chief Economist Team). My role is to provide economic expertise and support case handlers in merger cases and abuse of dominance investigations. I assess competition dynamics and identify theories of harm by combining theoretical models and empirical methods. I also actively contribute to longer-term projects. They include the design of merger screening tools, local market analysis methods, simulation techniques, and sectoral studies.
In my spare time, I write about corporate tax avoidance. I have had the privilege to collaborate with impactful policy institutions such as the United Nations and the French Council of Economic Analysis. Furthermore, my research in business taxation has received special recognition from:
the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research (Best PhD dissertation in all fields of science),
the United Nations (Best Research Work on International Investment and Development), and
the EU Tax Observatory (Young Researcher Award).
I hold a PhD in Economics from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, an MRes in Economics from the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, and an Engineering degree in Statistics from ENSAE Paris. You can find more details about my background and current activities in my resume.
