Marielle Montginoul

Marielle Montginoul is a Research Director in Economics at Irstea within the UMR G-Eau (Montpellier). She conducts both research and expertise in the field of water. Her work focuses more specifically on water demand (from households and farmers). She studies its determinants (analysis of past trends) and ways of influencing it in order to imagine its management in the future.
Her research is aimed at supporting public policies. The objective is to analyse existing economic tools and their implementation and to design more effective ones that take into account demand functions and that can be implemented. To do this, it uses data from surveys of water users and water services, but also from experimental economics or prospective scenarios.
