Professeure des Universités (Université Lyon 2)
I am a Professor of Economics in Lyon 2 University where I teach public economics, regional and urban economics and local public finance.
Mainly, my research interests are public economics, political economics and local governments’ decisions using microeconometric tools.
I am also the Principal Investigator of the ANR contract CITIZENS (2023-2025) on citizens’ implication in local public decision.
My latest research on Environmental economics and local public finance has just been published in Public Choice. Read here: https://rdcu.be/dvZpz

ONGOING RESEARCH ▼
Contrat ANR Citizens (2023-2025)
The project aims at addressing the relationship between decentralization and democracy by assessing how the different forms of decentralization and the different modalities of governance may reconcile citizens and politics at the local level. We want to explore the political consequences of decentralization on the electoral participation, whether electoral systems favour or infringe the perception of closeness between citizens and the administration or elected authorities, or which design of the deliberative process may improve citizens empowerment.
WORK in progress
- Decentralization and the size of local assemblies: the Cube Root Law Extended. Benoît Le Maux, Pauline Mille and Sonia Paty
- Integration among municipalities and voter turnout: evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in France. Edoardo Di Porto, Angela Parenti and Sonia Paty
