"I successfully defended my PhD dissertation about the interplay between banking and society on April 4, 2025! After three intense and rewarding years as a PhD student at the Augustin Cournot Doctoral School in LaRGE Research Center, this defense marks the culmination of extensive literature reviews, rigorous data modeling, and stimulating discussions carried out over the past three years. I'm deeply grateful to the members of my dissertation committee, Professors Marie-Helene Broihanne, Simon Cornée, Michael Troege, and Anastasiya Shamshur, for their time and constructive feedback during the defense. Thank you so much to my PhD adviser Prof. Laurent Weill for his constant guidance and unwavering support.
