	Analyse Coût-Bénéfice :
A primary objective in my professional life is that benefit-cost analysis is used more widely and more efficiently by french policy-makers. To this end, I have written some accessible papers and case studies on benefit-cost analysis in various french publication outlets. " Couts et bénéfices de l'usage de nanoparticules d'argent dans les réfrigérateurs " Les Cahiers de la Sécurité Industrielle, ICSI, 2011.
