Research Activities

Katia Radja holds a PhD in Economics at UVSQ in December 2003 (thesis in microeconomics development under the direction of Prof. François-Régis Mahieu: Household Economics: an application to marriage payments in India). In 2002, benefiting from a Research Grant from the Institute of Research for Development (IRD, France), in 2002 she was a visiting researcher at the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) in New Delhi (India).
Her current research activities deal with sustainable development, particularly in its human, social and ethical dimensions in interaction with environmental and climate issues. The work focuses on the one hand on the economics of well-being and quality of life; on the other hand, on the economic evaluation of the impacts of public policies in the context of environmental and climate change. This theoretical and empirical research concerns different fields of application: consumer microeconomics and ethics, health-environment; models of sustainable agriculture; lifelong work and training; child welfare; ethics – societal responsibility. She is currently participating in several projects in which CEARC is involved: IRS Paris-Saclay ACE-ICSEN Project Adaptation to environmental changes: a multi-scale and transdisciplinary approach (2017-2020), IRS Paris-Saclay MOMENTOM Project Molecules and Materials for the Energy of Tomorrow (2017-2020) and the European IMAGES Project, a comparative study on the resilience of young people (Greenland, France, Spain, Madagascar).

The theoretical framework is based on:
the resources allocation models
the capabilities approach.

The research refers also to the measure issues:
applied econometrics
empirical operationalization of capabilities

This research concerns different topics:
Assessment of sustainability (sustainable development)
Assessment of well-being
