معرفی
Nicolas Clootens is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Centrale Marseille, affiliated with the Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE). He serves as Head of the Audit/Consulting department for third-year engineering students, teaching Economy units. His academic profile combines teaching responsibilities with active research in environmental economics.
His research interests focus on critical intersections of economic systems and environmental constraints:
- Environmental and Resource Economics, particularly examining natural resource use impacts on economic development
- Overlapping Generations (OLG) models applied to environmental sustainability questions
- The resource curse phenomenon, with specialized attention to Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries
- The complex relationship between public debt, environmental quality, and economic growth
- Green monetary policy and central banking's potential role in environmental sustainability
Dr. Clootens' scholarly work demonstrates sophisticated methodological approaches, particularly in threshold regression analysis and OLG modeling. His publications reveal consistent patterns in examining how environmental constraints interact with economic systems across different institutional contexts. His research frequently identifies threshold effects where the relationship between resource abundance and economic outcomes changes dramatically at certain development levels.
His scientific contributions include publications in the Journal of Public Economic Theory, Annals of Economics and Statistics, and Environment and Development Economics, along with book chapters analyzing resource curse dynamics in MENA countries. His work has gained recognition in the academic community, with over 1,800 reads of his publications on ResearchGate.
Dr. Clootens maintains professional connections through ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and LinkedIn. His ORCID identifier is 0000-0002-4313-5568, and he is proficient in both French and English, facilitating international research collaborations.
