Victor Besse

Economics PhD Student

About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Economics at Cornell University, jointly appointed in the Department of Economics and the Strategy and Business Economics area at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management. My research interests lie at the intersection of industrial organization, innovation, competition, and business strategy. In particular, I study how firms respond to public policy, legal institutions, and political incentives, and how these forces shape firm behavior, investment, and innovation.

I am French and grew up in Mexico. I speak English, French, and Spanish fluently, as well as conversational German. Outside of economics, I am especially interested in languages, music, dance, and history.
