Thille’s research focuses on Industrial Organization, Natural Resource Economics, and Commodity Markets. His work investigates market structure dynamics, strategic behavior in commodity markets, speculative storage mechanisms, and the interplay between forward trading and pricing. He has contributed to understanding firm heterogeneity, energy market competition, and policy implications in resource economics.

His publications reveal trends in analyzing strategic advance sales, endogenous firm activity, energy price spreads, and electricity market dynamics under uncertainty. Key themes include Cournot duopolies, speculative constraints, social influence in product adoption, and empirical validation of resource economics theories like the Hotelling Rule.

Thille’s academic roles include editorial contributions to journals such as the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Canadian Journal of Economics, and Energy Economics. Though no specific scientific awards are listed, his work spans interdisciplinary applications of economic theory to environmental and energy markets.

He has collaborated with researchers like Sébastien Mitraille, Talat Genc, and Monica Cojocaru, with publications in leading economics journals. His research also touches on dynamic pricing models and social interactions in market contexts.
