Institut des Politiques Publiques is a French policy research institute founded to conduct applied empirical analysis of public policies and to inform legislative and administrative decision-making. Drawing on quantitative methods and comparative analysis, it engages with national and supranational institutions to evaluate reforms and to contribute to debates in the public sphere. The institute interfaces with academic centers, think tanks, and international organizations to translate evidence into actionable recommendations.
The institute was established in 2008 amid policy debates involving figures and institutions such as Nicolas Sarkozy, François Fillon, Michel Rocard, École normale supérieure, École Polytechnique, and Sciences Po. Early collaborations linked the institute with research programs at INSEE, CNRS, CREST, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and École des hautes études en sciences sociales. During the 2010s it expanded its analytic capacity through partnerships with international bodies such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the European Commission, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, while participating in comparative projects alongside London School of Economics, Harvard Kennedy School, University of Chicago, and University of California, Berkeley researchers. The institute's timeline intersects with major legislative reforms debated in the French National Assembly, rulings of the Conseil d'État, and directives from the European Union.
The institute's stated mission aligns with the agendas of institutions like Assemblée nationale (France), Sénat (France), Cour des comptes (France), Ministry of Economy and Finance (France), and Ministry of Labour (France), aiming to provide rigorous evaluations to inform policy choices. Objectives include producing counterfactual impact assessments useful for stakeholders such as Unesco, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, European Central Bank, and civil society organizations like Confédération française démocratique du travail, Confédération générale du travail, and Medef. The institute seeks to maintain methodological standards comparable to programs at National Bureau of Economic Research, Centre for Economic Policy Research, and university research centers at Oxford University, Cambridge University, and Stanford University.
Research areas encompass public finance analysis connected to Eurostat datasets, labor market evaluations tied to initiatives of Pôle emploi, health policy assessments referencing Haute Autorité de Santé standards, education studies in dialogue with Ministry of National Education (France), and social protection analysis in the context of Sécurité sociale (France). Methodological approaches include randomized controlled trials with designs informed by Medical Research Council (United Kingdom), quasi-experimental methods such as difference-in-differences and regression discontinuity used in work comparable to Angrist, Joshua D. and Imbens, Guido W. studies, and microsimulation techniques akin to models produced by EUROMOD and researchers at Institute for Fiscal Studies (United Kingdom). The institute also employs administrative data linkage practices consistent with standards from Insee and data governance influenced by Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés.
The institute publishes working papers, policy briefs, and peer-reviewed articles similar in scope to outputs from Brookings Institution, Bruegel, CEPR, and Peterson Institute for International Economics. Notable studies have addressed reforms comparable to the 2008 financial crisis responses, pension reform in France, unemployment benefit modifications akin to Arbeitslosengeld debates, and evaluations of education reforms reminiscent of Bologna Process impacts. Studies have been cited in parliamentary reports from Assemblée nationale (France), budgetary analyses by Cour des comptes (France), and briefings for European Parliament committees. The institute disseminates findings at conferences such as European Economic Association Annual Meeting, Allied Social Science Associations, World Bank Group seminars, and workshops at Maison des Sciences de l'Homme.
Governance structures mirror those of research bodies like Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques and Institut national d'études démographiques, with a board comprising academics affiliated with Université Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas, Université Paris Dauphine, Collège de France, and practitioners from Ministry of the Interior (France), Ministry of Health (France), and the private sector represented by entities such as BNP Paribas and Société Générale. Funding sources combine competitive grants from organizations like Agence Nationale de la Recherche, contracts with European Commission directorates, philanthropic support modeled on Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation grants, and commissioned work for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and World Bank. The institute adheres to transparency practices comparable to disclosure rules of Horizon 2020 and reporting norms observed by Transparency International.
Strategic partnerships include collaborations with universities such as University of Oxford, Harvard University, University of Chicago, and think tanks including Institut Montaigne, Fondation Jean-Jaurès, Atlantic Council, and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The institute has contributed evidence to policy debates on issues addressed by European Central Bank deliberations, International Labour Organization standards, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development country reviews, and its work has informed proposals considered by political parties like Les Républicains and La République En Marche!. Engagements with media outlets and public forums have paralleled activities of commentators at Le Monde, Le Figaro, France 24, and The Economist, amplifying its influence in legislative and administrative contexts.
