Pauline Chikhani

PhD in Economics, University of Lausanne (HEC)

My research interests are in macroeconomics and climate change. I use tools from macro-finance and heterogeneous-agent models to study how climate risk is allocated across agents and institutions.

I completed my PhD at the University of Lausanne in 2026, under the supervision of Jean-Paul Renne and Aurélien Eyquem. In 2024, I visited the Center for Energy, Climate, and Resources at the ifo Institute.

I am on the 2026-2027 academic job market.
