About

I received my PhD in Economics from DELTA (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris) in 1996. Among other positions, I have been Associate Professor at the Toulouse School of Economics (1998-2008) and then Senior Lecturer at City, University of London --and Head of the Economics Department in the period 2013-2017.

I joined Kingston University as Professor of Economics in January 2019, and was appointed Associate Dean for Research of the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences in January 2020. From October 2021 till May 2023, I served as Interim Dean of the Faculty.

I have taught a variety of courses including Labour Economics, Macro, Public Economics, Economics of the European Integration, and Economics of Identity, Culture and Language.

My main areas of research interest are Labour Economics and Political Economy. Currently, I am working on papers on the impact of immigration on natives, on nation-building through education and on political correctness.
