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 telework; job search and commute time. Another stream of my research focuses on conflict economics.

As President elect (2017-19) and President (2019-21) of the Society of the Economics of the HOusehold (SEHO), 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) and overviewed the organization of SEHO 2020 annual meeting at Venice Ca Foscari (finally cancelled).

SEHO was founded in 2017 and counts over 400 members in 34 countries, spanning all continents seho-member-list.pdf .

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

I have recently supervised 8 doctoral students and acted as Doctoral Thesis Comittee President/Member and Thesis Referee of 14 doctoral students. All of them are doing great in the job market (see the dedicated page on this website for more information ). I have also sitted in 4 doctoral programs abroad.
