I am a PhD student in Econometrics at Aix-Marseille University. I am passionate about developing innovative methods that can be applied to real-world economic problems and teaching is one of my favorite activities.

I am an economic theorist working on political economy. I study how socialization with parents and peers shapes citizens’ involvement in politics, and how candidates compete for votes.

I am a spatial economist working at the intersection of economic theory and environmental economics. I use mean-field game techniques to study the equilibrium properties of spatial models and combine them with physical models of environmental dispersion to investigate the economic consequences of diffuse environmental externalities, such as air pollution and groundwater flows.

I am an applied microeconomist working at the intersection of development economics, international trade, and labor economics. My research focuses on understanding how public policies shape labor markets, firm behavior, and economic development, with a particular interest in industrial and place-based policies.

John is a theorist studying game theory and Bayesian learning, particularly interested in how agents learn when they cannot reliably track how long information has been accumulating (they are temporally ignorant). His work ranges from studying how to model the Sleeping Beauty problem as a game to asking whether we should expect truth to emerge from social media debate, where one cannot discern how many others have participated already.

Amit is a microeconomic theorist whose research bridges cooperative and noncooperative game theory. He uses theoretical models and laboratory experiments to study how people reason and behave in interactions where no fixed protocol determines the order and timing of actions.

I am a macroeconomist working at the intersection of development and environmental economics. My research combines empirical and quantitative approaches to investigate how climate risks affect macroeconomic stability and how structural vulnerabilities shape economic resilience in low- and middle-income countries.

I am an applied economist studying the effects of demographic change on economic growth, labor supply, and productivity. My research combines macro- and micro-level analyses and also examines the fiscal implications of pension and administrative reforms.

I am a microeconomic theorist working on inequality measurement. My job market paper rebuilds the foundations of inequality measurement theory for ordinal variables, and my broader agenda takes these tools to survey data.

I am an applied microeconomist working on labor and gender economics. I study how environments and institutions influence family formation and gender inequality, using newly digitized historical records, administrative data and large-scale text analysis.

I investigate how heterogeneity across and within countries shape the transmission and the effects of monetary & trade policies

I conduct applied microeconomic research to understand how extreme weather events shape gender inequalities in paid and unpaid work across low- and middle-income countries.

I study how industrial lobbies use research funding to manufacture doubt about the risks of their own products. Combining theory and causal inference with novel archival data from the tobacco industry, I show that firms can delay unfavorable findings while still funding legitimate research.

Nina is an experimental and behavioral economist studying how beliefs and identity shape decision-making, with a particular interest in gender gaps in the labor market. She uses laboratory experiments and virtual reality interventions, drawing on insights from psychology and cognitive science.

I study which policies promote development and industrialization, and how different social groups shape the path to modern economic growth. To answer these questions, I collect and analyze detailed data from Late Tsarist Russia using applied micro tools.

Aisha Salih is a PhD candidate in Economics at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics, on the 2026–2027 job market. She uses quasi-experimental methods and geospatial data to measure rural households' adjustment to shocks and their allocation of labor, income, and time.
