Valérie Lechene's picture
Short description: 
Valerie is an applied microeconomist, interested in understanding the behaviour of individuals, both theoretically and empirically, with the aim of informing policy. Part of her research focuses on modelling intra-household behaviour in order to understand how individuals interact to reach the decisions whose consequences we see. She is particularly interested in applying these models in the context of developing economies. She also has a long-standing interest in consumption and demand, which has informed both her research and policy oriented work, conducted for UK government bodies. She also works on health. She was educated in France, where she obtained a PhD from Delta-Ehess. She is a Reader (Associate Professor) in the Department of Economics at UCL and a Research Fellow at the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Currently, she is the Director of the BSc in Economics at UCL.

I am the scientific consultant of UNESCO-ICQHS, International Center on Qanats and Historic Hydraulic Structures in Yazd-Iran. As a Ph.D. candidate of Sociology at the University of Tehran. I am working on the impact of technology on the transformation of traditional water governance and the role it plays in society. The main technology I am working on is the Internet of Things, more specifically, the application of smart meters on agricultural wells. According to collaboration with the UNESCO center, I have a unique opportunity to play a part in studies regarding intangible aspects of water culture in arid areas of the central plateau of Iran. At the same time, I can monitor the social effects of underground water management on the social lives of Yazdi farmers from ongoing smart meters projects. I’m looking for a way through the intangible culture of Karez civilization and reflexive ecological modernization to mitigate the issue of water in developing countries.
