Maiva Ropaul

Maiva Ropaul is a Lecturer at the Université Catholique de l'Ouest (UCO) in Niort, affiliated with the Faculty of Law, Economics, Management and Political Science. Her research focuses on intersections between law, economics, and social policy, particularly in areas involving elderly care systems, institutional trust dynamics, and legal enforcement mechanisms. She actively contributes to academic discourse through regular participation in research events like the UCO Niort Lunch Research sessions.

Her scholarly work examines topics such as trusted persons in French nursing homes, the role of fines in regulatory frameworks, and consumer boycott motivations linked to institutional trust. Methodologically, she employs behavioral economics, criminology, and multi-level analysis to explore how perceptions of justice and legal structures influence societal behaviors.

Recent publications (2014-2024) demonstrate a consistent focus on aging populations, institutional accountability, and economic decision-making under ambiguity. While no formal awards or grants are cited, her prolific output reflects sustained engagement with policy-relevant research questions.
