Bio: Lucile is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the King Center on Global Development. Prior to joining Stanford, she earned her PhD from the Paris School of Economics. Lucile’s research lies at the intersection of environment and development economics with a focus on the impacts of water scarcity on household behavior in Sub-Saharan Africa. Her work combines frontier causal inference techniques with remote-sensing data and predictive machine learning to generate new empirical evidence aimed at informing policies that reduce poverty while strengthening climate resilience.
