My main work focuses on how organizational theories can help understand the way the financial industry operates. My articles contribute to a renewed understanding of financial markets and the role played by large financial institutions. The main contribution of this work is to present an institutional perspective of finance, allowing the study of empirical phenomena neglected by the classical approach of financial economics, such as the construction of financial markets and what kind of regulation they are subject to. These reflections lead me today to question ethics in finance, financial regulation and more generally the way in which finance can positively and negatively impact society. My next work will focus on the links between finance and climate change. More generally, I am interested in the impact of non-financial companies on the society.
