My research focuses on Experimental and Behavioral Economics, with a particular emphasis on behaviors, mechanisms, and preferences in Social Dilemmas. My PhD thesis, 'Essays on Distributional Preferences and Approval Mechanisms in Social Dilemmas,' reflects my special interest in common pool resource dilemmas and how individuals navigate shared goods.
Currently, I am part of a project at GATE that seeks to develop a nation-wide experimental platform. This initiative is designed to support ambitious, large-scale experimental research while promoting open science and fostering collaboration.
In addition to my core research, I explore experimental methodology as a side focus, emphasizing the critical role of replication in ensuring robust and reliable findings within the field.
Cyril Chambefort is a researcher in economics and PhD student, currently pursuing a CIFRE PhD within the startup Shine, a fintech specialized in banking services for businesses. The thesis is being conducted at the GATE-LSE laboratory (Groupe d’Analyse et de Théorie Economique - UMR5824) within the University Jean Monnet (Saint-Etienne). The research topic focuses on fintechs and other financial technology startups.
The objective is to investigate the various business models adopted by these emerging players in order to comprehend the structure of this ecosystem and its integration into the monetary and financial system. This includes examining competition between fintechs and traditional banks, and the potential horizontal integration between fintechs and traditional actors.
His research focuses also on the game-changing impact of crypto-currencies, blockchain and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) on economic and societal structure. By analyzing the complex workings of blockchain technology, smart contracts and DAO functionalities, he work on the mechanisms underlying the establishment and maintenance of trust between network participants. Furthermore, his exploration of DAOs highlights how decentralized decision-making and management frameworks can revolutionize traditional governance of organizational models.
Je suis doctorant en économie expérimentale au GATE / CNRS à l’Université de Lyon (France), sous la direction de Marie Claire Villeval (GATE/CNRS) et de Jean Decety (Université de Chicago). Mes principaux domaines de recherche sont l’économie expérimentale et comportementale, l’économie du développement, la microéconométrie appliquée, les normes sociales, les déplacements forcés, les questions de genre et l’Afrique. Je vous invite à explorer mes projets en cours, mon parcours académique ainsi que mes expériences de recherche sur mon site. N’hésitez pas à me contacter pour toute question ou opportunité de collaboration.
Ma thèse porte sur l’impact des déplacements forcés internes sur les préférences sociales des enfants et les normes de genre néfastes telles que les mutilations génitales féminines et les mariages précoces des adolescents et jeunes parents dans la région du Sahel africain.
Ignacio Hauser is a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the Université Jean Monnet Saint-Étienne & the Université de Lyon, and a member of the GATE Lyon-St-Etienne since October 2021.
His research focuses on the measurement of income inequality, addressing it from a diversity of approaches that include applied economics, philosophy and methodology of economics, and the history of economic thought.
Before starting his Ph.D., Ignacio completed both an M.Res. and an M.A. in Economics and Social Sciences at the Université Lumière Lyon 2 (France), a one-year fellowship for the ‘Amartya Sen Program’ granted by the Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina), and a B.A. (five-year diploma) in Economics at the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (Argentina).

Abstract: Urban overheating has numerous adverse effects on health, productivity, and household energy consumption. The measures implemented by local governments to combat urban overheating are insufficient. Therefore, households can adopt their own adaptation strategies to address urban overheating, including decisions about their location within the city. On the one hand, I aim to empirically study the impact of urban overheating on household location choices, housing prices, and urban sprawl. On the other hand, the more theoretical aspect of my thesis seeks to examine the endogenous formation of urban overheating, particularly by analyzing how households and firms concentrate within a city, creating urban characteristics conducive to the emergence of overheating.
