2 Past RCT I run RCT s for more than 10 years Most of them have been in France Analyse youth issues in deprived suburbs, employment, health, housing, entrepreneurship Labor market issues like counseling for hard to place workers Demand for prevenjon investments in housing Some in developing countries, Morocco, South Africa Entrepreneurship, micro credit, labor market

3 Two Research interests On the supply side There is the common idea that entrepreneurship is a good way to solve the employment problem, especially for young people in Africa However most research has found up to now liole effect of programs designed to help young entrepreneurs One thing I find interesjng is to examine what is the potenjal of job creajon associated to the needs we are talking about in the USI

4 Two research interests Is there a potenjal to define precisely business models associated to Urban Services Under what condijons are they implemented succesfully What is the impact for one individual to be in such a business What is the effect of training on the potenjal for growth What is the demand for entrepreneurship and the relajve performance in terms of services provided under various organizajons like being an employee or being an entrepreneur

5 Two research interests Demand side What are the determinant of the demand for Urban Services I am interested in most of the items that SebasJan listed yesterday Price sensijvity, liquidity constraints, behavioral constraints ExternaliJes, coordinajon failure
