France d'Agrain

PhD Candidate in Economics · CEDP, Mines de Paris – PSL

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at CEDP, Mines de Paris – PSL, under the supervision of Renaud Coulomb. My research studies the economics of oil supply and the design of climate policy in fossil-fuel markets, combining dynamic partial-equilibrium models with granular, asset-level data on global oil fields.

My work focuses on the welfare and environmental effects of supply-side climate policies — exploration restrictions, import standards and carbon pricing — and on how heterogeneity across the world's oil deposits shapes their outcomes.

In autumn 2025 I was a Visiting PhD Scholar at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment (London School of Economics), hosted by Franck Venmans.
