About Me
I am an Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track) at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics and a research affiliate at IZA.
I am an applied economist studying migration and the forces that shape how societies debate and govern it. My research addresses a central challenge of modern democracies: the gap between empirical evidence and public narratives on immigration. One strand of my research documents the economic, social, and political contributions of immigrants and their descendants. Another traces how immigration debates have been constructed and transformed since the late nineteenth century. Across projects, I combine cutting-edge causal methods with administrative, digital, and archival data to provide credible evidence on how migration reshapes economies, politics, and public discourse.
