Sebastien Houde

Sebastien Houde serves as a Professor at the Faculty of Business and Economics (HEC-UNIL) of the University of Lausanne, where his research bridges institutional design, economic policy, and environmental sustainability. His work critically examines how regulatory frameworks shape market behaviors and societal outcomes.

His primary research domains include:

• Environmental Economics: Focusing on green building policies and their socioeconomic ripple effects
• Institutional Analysis: Investigating how norms and policies evolve within regulatory ecosystems
• Machine Learning Applications: Developing data-driven models for policy impact forecasting
• Well-Being Metrics: Quantifying mental health correlations with sustainable housing initiatives

Recent publications reveal a concentrated focus on Swiss residential markets, where he pioneers methodologies to measure economic externalities of environmental regulations. His interdisciplinary approach synthesizes econometric modeling with behavioral insights, establishing new frameworks for evaluating sustainability transitions in real estate sectors. This work demonstrates growing integration of computational techniques in policy economics.

Houde actively contributes to academic discourse through research participation and publications centered on institutional transformation, though specific grant details or collaborative projects remain undocumented in available sources.
