Julien Picard

Welcome to my website. I am an environmental and behavioural economist working on sustainable choices, policy preferences, and sustainable farming. I use experimental methods and theory to understand what drives pro-environmental decisions. I also study the mechanisms of public policies fostering such decisions. Ultimately, my goal is to understand the role economic actors can play in the green transition. 

I graduated with a PhD in Environmental Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2024. I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Politecnico di Milano and the European Institute on Economics and the Environment from 2024 to 2026. 

Since June 2026, I am a permanent researcher at INRAE, in the Paris-Saclay Applied Economics Lab.
