After a very intense academic year and as activities at the Department wind down before our annual summer break, you may be wondering what awaits you this Fall in terms of our seminars...
The Department has been very busy this month organising an eco-friendly, stellar lineup of guest speakers - check out our pages dedicated to our different seminars (Departmental, Roy-ADRES, Trade, Banque de France Research Seminar, PEPES, Friday) !
We are pleased to announce that, we have also decided to add two new series to our agenda and slightly tweaked our former 'Empirical IO Seminar'.
As of September the Department's faculty and graduate students are invited to attend:
- a joint Econometrics Seminar with the Centre de recherche en économie et statistique (CREST) and the Paris School of Economics (PSE)
This is a bimonthly seminar series that takes place essentially online on Mondays but three sessions this year will be organised at Sciences Po, in-person. Invited speakers are econometricians, with a particular focus on applied econometricians interested in methods for policy evaluations.
For our first session, the scientific organiser of the seminar at Sciences Po, Clément de Chaisemartin, has invited Elie TAMER (Harvard), on September 18th.

- an Applied Microeconomics Seminar
This is a monthly seminar series that alternates with our PEPES Seminar on Thursdays. For the seminar's scientific organiser Claire de Montialoux the objective of the series is to present applied work in labour, development, public finance, political economy and economic history.
Joseph ALTONJI (Yale) and Nina ROUSSILLE (MIT) are already confirmed for November and the list of speakers will soon be finalised - the first session will take place September 21st.

Also of note, our Empirical IO Seminar has been renamed and its objective slightly enlarged. The new/old bimonthly Structural Seminar series focuses on research that combines methodological and empirical components, with topics in industrial organisation, urban, labour and applied microeconomics, on Tuesdays.
On September 5th, the Structural Seminar's scientific co-organisers, Marleen Marra and Junnan He, have invited Milena ALMAGRO (Chicago Booth) to launch the series in the Fall.

Congratulations to Samuel DELPEUCH, Gustave KENEDI, Marco PALLADINO, and Pierre VILLEDIEU!
Young doctors tend to consider careers in academia as a 'natural' job market but this is too narrow a viewpoint of what career opportunities a PhD in Economics has to offer.
Yes, our PhD programme does train top economists who seek to pursue university and academic careers in France or abroad - check out how are international job market candidates fared this year - but it also prepares them for careers requiring high-level doctoral training: in international organisations, think tanks, research institutions, government agencies, banks, and insurance companies.
The four graduates we are highlighting here chose not to head onto the international job market (or at least not yet). We are proud to announce that they have all secured fantastic, relevant positions in prestigious institutions.
Samuel DELPEUCH
Samuel DELPEUCH is working as an Economist at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). He is working in the team in charge of the implementation and of the impact assement of the "2-Pillar Solution" aimed at reducing base erosing and profit shifting by multinational firms at the OECD's Centre for Tax Policy and Administration.
He will soon defend his PhD thesis entitled Globalization's New Faces, under the supervision of Thierry Mayer.
