Naomie Mahmoudi

Naomie Mahmoudi is a Lecturer in Economics at University of Lyon 1, a position she has held since the start of the 2023 academic year. Previously, she completed her doctoral studies at Gustave Eiffel University and the Paris School of Economics, and conducted post-doctoral research at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers.

Her educational background includes:

• D1 preparatory class (law-economics) at Gustave Eiffel high school in Dijon
• Studies in Law-Economics-Management department at École normale supérieure de Rennes (2015 class)
• Law degree and Master's 1 in European law from ENS Rennes and University of Rennes 1
• Master's 2 in Data Analyst, expertise in employment and human resources at Gustave Eiffel University
• Doctorate in economics under Professor Yannick L'Horty

Dr. Mahmoudi specializes in labor economics with a focus on disability employment barriers. Her research critically examines policies like the obligation to employ disabled workers (OETH) and the allowance for disabled adults (AAH), demonstrating that despite policy measures, significant employment barriers persist for people with disabilities. She approaches this research through empirical analysis combining labor market supply and demand perspectives.

She was awarded an Honorable Mention in the 2023 Thesis Prize from ANDESE (National Association of Doctors of Economic Sciences and Management Sciences) for her doctoral thesis on 'Access to employment for people with disabilities.'

Dr. Mahmoudi maintains strong connections with École normale supérieure de Rennes where she values the research-oriented teaching environment that reinforced her doctoral path. Her work bridges rigorous academic analysis with practical policy implications, addressing how employment can combat social exclusion and poverty disproportionately affecting people with disabilities.
