He won the 2017 Malinvaud Prize for the best economics article by a young economist awarded by AFSE and, also, in 2011, the Thesis Prize awarded by this association.Among the themes it addresses are the implications of political competition on public policy priorities and regulatory frameworks (income tax reforms in OECD countries, European banking supervision reform), which leads, for example, to study the impact of social standards on willingness to pay taxes or the effects of a political candidate’s charisma on voters' choice. His research is mainly academic, but he drew attention in an article devoted to the determinants of the mobilization of yellow vests in France.
