Antoine Ferey is the 2025 AFSE Malinvaud Prize laureate
The Association Française de Science Économique (AFSE) announced the 2025 laureate of its Prix Edmond Malinvaud: Antoine Ferey.
The AFSE (French Economic Association) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1950. It aims at promoting exchange of knowledge and participation of its members in public debates on economic policies. It is open to all economists, whether they work in universities, public research organizations, government bodies or private companies.
Every year the AFSE awards a Prize for the best paper published in an indexed EconLit, peer-reviewed journal in the past two years by a young economist affiliated to a French laboratory.
Antoine is awarded the 2025 Prix Edmond Malivaud for his paper Sufficient Statistics for Nonlinear Tax Systems with General Across-Income Heterogeneity (joint with Ben Lockwood and Dmitry Taubinsky), published in 2024 in the American Economic Review.
The jury wanted to shed light on the topic of optimal non-linear tax systems, in particular taxation of savings which is much less investigated than taxation of income.
“In their paper, Antoine Ferey and his co-authors put forward a comprehensive approach to quantifying optimal commodity and savings taxes by developing sufficient statistics that capture various sources of income heterogeneity, extending the standard Atkinson-Stiglitz framework, and providing practical guidance for policy design and empirical estimation.”
A ceremony will be organised on June 20th during the Paris Economics Taxation Workshop to award the Malinvaud Prize to Antoine.
This is the third time that Antoine’s work has been honoured in as many months: earlier this year he became a CESifo Distinguished Fellow for his paper Redistribution and Unemployment Insurance (read abstract) and the Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE) awarded him the Carine Nourry Best Doctoral Dissertation Prize.
Antoine also joins a growing list of faculty members whose papers have been awarded the Malinvaud Prize: Alfred Galichon, Isabelle Mejean, Clément de Chaisemartin, Johannes Boehm, and Michele Fioretti.
Congratulations Antoine !
