Curriculum Vitae

Research

My research interests focus on economic geography and more especially on economic growth, regional development policies and the housing market. I have devoted special attention to modelling the presence of spillover effects when regional policies are implemented to correct economic imbalances. In that purpose, I use various tools of regional science but mostly spatial data analysis and spatial econometrics. I have published several articles on these topics and with those tools in various refereed journals and book chapters (the complete list is available in my resume attached). My research always attempts to provide a range of exposure to new curricula materials, methods of conducting interdisciplinary and international collaborative research and guidance in the preparation of material for dissemination in the public policy arena. The latter component is extremely important but often undervalued. I also started the European Study Group of the UA in Fall 2006 and I've chaired it since then.
