 Jean-Marc Robin, new chairman of the departmentJean-Marc Robin is a Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics of Sciences Po, he is also Professor of Economics at University College London and a team member of the Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice at IFS. His research interests are in microeconometrics, labour microeconomics, and search and matching. He is a fellow of the Econometric Society and currently co-editor of Econometrica. In 2010 he otained an Advanced ERC Grant. A few words about the department by Jean-Marc Robin, our new chairman: The Department of Economics at Sciences Po (http://econ.sciences-po.fr/) was launched on September 1st, 2009, as an essential component of Richard Descoings’new scientific strategy for Sciences Po, Paris. Jean-Paul Fitoussi, at the time Director of OFCE, and Bruno Latour, then vice-president and Director of Research, provided priceless guidance for the early development of the Economics Department. However this development could never have been successful but for the tireless drive of Philippe Martin, appointed as the first head of Department (2009-2013): he undertook the lion’s share of the work. We are all immensely grateful for his devotion to the Department over the past four years – four years that have not come without great personal expense as his own research activities were interrupted. We look forward to rediscovering Philippe Martin as a researcher! At its beginning, the Department counted 8 professors (3 retired in 2011 and 2012). Between 2009 and 2013, we hired 5 new professors and 8 assistant professors (APs). More than half of the junior faculty is of foreign origin and all were hired in the international job market. The 18-member faculty has won 6 ERC Grants (comp:TSE has 8); 2 APs received a Grant “Chaire d’excellence” from ANR; the LIEPP, a LABEX, was launched in 2011; 2 professors have been junior members of IUF; 4 professors in the Department obtained the “best young economist” award from the Cercle des Economistes. Last but not least, despite its small size the Department of Economics at Sciences Po is ranked fourth among French economic academic institutions in France (behind TSE, PSE and AMSE). Besides doing excellent research, the Department is also a school of economics, directly running 4 master programs and a PhD program. In 2012, 6 PhD students successfully went on the job market and 6 more will be going this year. Philippe Martin laid the Department’s foundations and paved the way. We must now ensure that these successes are self-sustaining. First, we need to pursue our intensive hiring policy and double the size of the faculty if we want to be amongst the very best departments of economics in Europe and in the world. A larger and diversified faculty is needed to both satisfy teaching requirements in economics, business and finance, at all three levels (Bachelor-Master-PhD) and cover well different economic fields. Secondly, we should look to improving the quality of our training programs, PhD training in particular. More of our master students should be enrolled in top American PhD programs and more of our own PhD students should be able to find a job in top American schools. Thirdly, we should strive to create a better synergy between the Department of Economics, on the one hand, and the OFCE and LIEPP on the other. I am honored and humbled to have been selected to succeed to Philippe Martin as new Head of Department. I hope that the Department of economics at Sciences Po continues to flourish in my term as it did so well during Philippe’s.
