PhD proposal:Industrial Organization theory and competitiveness of the international financial places: Application to the industry of investment funds.
It appears that international financial activities are confined in international financial centres. These places are engaged in a growing competition at the international level. It is thus advisable to analyze the attractiveness of these places and the competitiveness they are engaged in.   The concept of competitiveness has been much studied regarding manufacturing industries. The transposition of competitiveness analytical methods to the service industry remains complex. How should one understand that, at a given date, a service company has an advantage over his competitors? How could we measure this competitiveness that appears to be non-measurable because of its immaterial character? In this thesis, our ambition is to describe the competitiveness of financial centres in the industry of investment funds which strongly developed these recent years. Our purpose is to create an optimal competitiveness indicator for the investment funds' industry. The case of a small-opened economy will be aimed.

Master in Econometrics and Finance dissertation: Analyse économétrique des déterminants de la rentabilité des banques européennes. Done at Cellule de Recherche en Economie Appliquée of Luxembourg
It relates to the analysis of banks’ profitability in six European countries between 1994 and 1997. Its aim is to reexamine the link between profitability and some external and internal determinants of the European banking system. Thus, we proposed to show how different the answers of the European banking structure are when compared to the variation of some determinants. The methodology of [Bourke (1989)] helped us along with a panel analysis of a model with fixed individual effect.
