Social

Coordinator of the YSI Innovation Working Group

In 2014 together with Besiana Balla I co-founded the Economics of Innovation Working Group.

My main academic interests are :

—Competition, Innovation, and Regulation in the Digital Economy incl. Regulatory Entrepreneurship
—Field theories in economic sociology and organization studies
—The History of Political Economy

I also gives lectures at SciencesPo Paris for the courses “History of Tech Revolutions”, “The Digital Transition of Organisations” within the Master of Public Policy — Digital New Technology and Public Policy, and the module “How to Build Ambitious Startups in Europe?” at the Public Policy Incubator.

With young professionals, I am also working to bridge the gap between the academic world and public debate with the journal Regards Croisés sur l’Economie.

I had the opportunity to work in the UK and in Spain and to study economics, business and sociology in Denmark, the U.S, Italy and France.
