Antoine Nebout

Biography

I am a Research Fellow in Economics at Paris-Saclay Applied Economics (INRAE, Université Paris-Saclay) and a Professor of Economics at École Polytechnique (X).

My research examines the behavioral and institutional determinants of adaptation to health risks, climate change, and technological transformations. I work at the intersection of health, environmental, and behavioral economics, with strong links to epidemiology.

In particular, my work focuses on measuring individual psychological characteristics at the population level to predict engagement in prevention and adaptation behaviors. To this end, I develop survey-based and experimental tools to elicit risk, time, and ambiguity preferences, leveraging methods from decision theory and behavioral economics.
