I am a PhD Student in Economics at the University of Orléans, and in the "International Economics and Sustainable Development" Research Team at LEO (Laboratoire d'Economie d'Orléans). I graduated from the Master in Economics at the Paris School of Economics and from the Magistère in Economics at the University Paris 1. My PhD thesis, supervised by Prof. Camelia Turcu (University of Orléans) and Prof. Daniel Mirza (University of Tours), aims to study the link between trade, globalization and environmental regulation, with a focus on natural resources.
