His research interests include long term growth dynamics and structural policies. He is particularly interested in sustainable growth (promote economic growth while paying due regard to environmental protection).

His articles on the subject are mainly theoretical (latest article published, « Pollution effects on labor supply and growth », International Journal of Economic Theory, 2015, with Stefano Bosi and David Desmarchelier). His two others research interests (on the topic of structural changes) are demographic ageing and international migrations. They have been the subject of more applied research works, based on dynamic applied general equilibrium models (latest article published, « Impacts of Immigration on Aging Welfare-State An Applied General Equilibrium Model for France », Fiscal Studies, 2016, with Xavier Chojnicki).
