I am an Economist with the World Bank Development Research Group (DECRG) and a Senior Economist at the EU Tax Observatory. 
I previously was an Assistant Professor at the ESSEC-Business School in Paris.
​
My research interests lie in public economics, especially the design of taxes and transfers, international taxation, and financial Inclusion. My CV is here
​Here are recent slides on Tax Equity summarizing my work and that of many others, and an  older video presentation of my research. For more work on public finance using micro-data from the World Bank visit our website DATAX.
