My area of expertise covers environmental and development economics, with Personal statement significant international experiences. During my Ph.D. and my postdoctoral research, I focused on the consequences of economic development on deforestation and forest degradation in tropical countries. For this purpose, I gained expertise in modeling the development of an economy, its agricultural sector, and the impact of land-use change in time. I have used both theoretical and empirical methods (econometrics). So far, I have published three articles in peer-reviewed leading journals in economics and multidisciplinary research, and have several works in progress. I also contributed to two book chapters, and have other articles currently submitted. I have significant experiences and ongoing working relationships with different American universities, and I present my work in international conferences on a regular basis. For this reason, the realization of this project corresponds to the way I structured my profile as a young researcher. As an assistant professor at AgroParisTech, I have developed a new course entitled “Economic growth and natural capital”. In this class, I present the main challenges in terms of growth and resources preservation, on the basis of current academic research in economics.
