I am an applied micro-economist. My research interests are in the area of applied household economics and time allocation. In particular, I have studied couples' allocation of time to household work and leisure time at retirement; the impact of different forms of income taxation on household time uses; and the labour supply of couples in which the wife outearns the husband; as well as the decision to work from home.  Another stream of my research focuses on behavioral  impacts of conflict economics.

I am a lifetime member of the Executive Committee of the Society of the Economics of the HOusehold (SEHO), and I was the first SEHO President elect (2017-19). SEHO was founded in 2017 by Shoshana Grossbard (San Diego State University) and counts over 400 members in 34 countries, spanning all continents.  I organized the 2018 annual meeting of SEHO the Paris-School-of-Economics and co-organized the 2021 annual meeting of SEHO at Boston University (which took place virtually).

I am in the Top 5% Women in Economics in REPEC.

I have supervised many doctoral students and acted as Thesis Comittee President/Member and Thesis Referee of  several other doctoral students in France and abroad, as well as Habilitation (hdR) Committees  of many junior colleagues. I have also sitted in institutional doctoral programs abroad.  I have supervised numerous master dissertations. All my students  are doing great in the job market.  (See dedicated pages on this website for more information).

 I have organized in June 2023 a Summer School on the Economics of Gender together with Thomas Breda, Libertad González, Nagore Iriberri & Claudia Senik, at the Paris School of Economics, which was attended by many excellent French and international postgraduated students and junior colleagues from academia and international organizations.
