His research interests explore the interplay between economic policies, demographic trends, and cultural factors. Notable areas include the role of religion in fertility decisions, the rural exodus’s influence on European economic growth, and childlessness dynamics across development stages. His recent work emphasizes institutional and cultural drivers of demographic behavior.
Collaborations with co-authors like David de la Croix and Paula Gobbi have produced influential studies on childlessness and development stages. He has also pioneered the Institutional Population Index (IPI) to assess fertility policies in developing countries. His teaching includes advanced macroeconomics courses focusing on economic growth theories.
Baudin’s affiliations with LEM and IRES support interdisciplinary research on population economics, urbanization, and policy design. His work bridges economic theory with historical and anthropological insights, offering novel frameworks for understanding long-term growth and demographic shifts.
