Isac Olave Cruz

I am an Assistant Professor (with tenure) at the University of Rouen Normandy, affiliated with the LERN research center. Before joining LERN, I was a postdoctoral fellow at NEOMA Business School. I earned my PhD at the Governance and Regulation Chair of Université Paris Dauphine – PSL. Prior to my PhD, I completed the APE Master’s program at the Paris School of Economics and a Master’s degree in Economics at ITAM in Mexico. I also worked as a Junior Analyst at the Mexican Petroleum Fund, a branch of the Central Bank. My research lies at the intersection of regulatory economics, industrial organization, and public management, with a particular focus on the ecological transition and digital transformation. It is structured around two core areas: (1) assessing regulatory frameworks for the integration of emerging digital platforms, and (2) enhancing public procurement regulations to better support broader policy objectives.
