Substitutability has found itself at the core of modern economic modeling for two reasons. First, it arises naturally in classes of models such as one-to-one matching, discrete choice, hedonic models, and many others. Second, it leads to successful numerical methods, such as the greedy algorithm in the discrete case, and the Jacobi algorithm related ones in the continuous case.

In collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST), the Nuffield College of Oxford University and Sciences Po (OxPo), we are pleased to be hosting a 2-day conference on Political Science and Political Economy.

In collaboration with Rice University's Global Paris Center, we are pleased to be hosting a 2-day conference on Empirical Industrial Organization.

Along with the new year, we extend our warmest wishes to newcomers who have joined the Department this past January.

Every two years, the Association Revue économique honours the exceptional career of a researcher in economics. We are pleased to announce that the laureate of the 2022 Prix de la Revue économique is faculty member and former Head of the Department, Jean-Marc ROBIN.

On April 15th this year, the Department was very saddened to learn of the passing of one of its truly remarkable and unique founders, Jean-Paul FITOUSSI, Professor Emeritus and former President of the OFCE (1989-2010).

A day of tribute and of remembrance will take place December 7th, from 9 am to 6 pm at Sciences Po.

The Department is pleased to be hosting a joint workshop in macroeconomics with the Paris School of Economics (PSE) and the Observatoire française des conjonctures économiques (OFCE).

The Department is looking to recruit two Assistant Professors (tenure track) for September 1st, 2023.

For the first position, we are searching for candidates in any field of economics, with a special focus on public economics, development economics, industrial organization and environmental economics.
