The research interests of Duncan Roth lie in the field of empirical labour and urban economics. In recent research projects, he has looked at, first, how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected individual employment biographies; second, how the extent of worker-firm matching changes over a worker’s career; third, what constitutes dynamic agglomeration effects and how they differ between natives and foreigners.

Germain Gaudin works in the field of Industrial Organization. His research interests cover Digital Economics, Competition Economics and Regulatory Economics. In a recent working paper, he has studied the effects of imperfect competition on firms’ incentives to distort the quality of their products, extending the seminal monopoly analysis by Spence (1975) to imperfect competition. He derives measurable statistics which capture the effects of competition on quality for a wide range of functional forms of demands and costs.
