Biographic sketch

He has taught on a visiting basis at UCLA, Copenhagen, Aix-Marseille, Nanterre, Capetown, Sao Paulo and Rostock. He is associate editor for the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, the Journal of Development Economics, and the Journal of Public Economic Theory.. His research interests cover economic demography, overlapping generations, and growth. His choice of topics reveals that he is mostly interested in understanding households’ incentives and their effects in the long-run. Working with 42 co-authors, he has published over 70 research articles (including in journals such as American Economic Review, Journal of Economic Theory and Review of Economic Studies), and a treatise on Economic Growth co-authored with Philippe Michel.
