Laboratoire d'Économie de Paris is a multidisciplinary research laboratory based in Paris that brings together scholars from multiple universities and research institutions. It conducts theoretical and empirical studies on markets, institutions, and public policy while participating in doctoral training and international networks. The laboratory maintains active links with national and international research bodies and disseminates findings through journals, books, and working papers.
Founded in the early 2000s through a merger of teams from École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, École normale supérieure (Paris), Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and Centre national de la recherche scientifique, the laboratory built on traditions associated with François Quesnay, Jean-Baptiste Say, and later scholars such as Maurice Allais and Émile Durkheim-era social science. Early collaborations included projects with Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques, Banque de France, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Over successive research contracts with Agence nationale de la recherche and European Research Council, the laboratory expanded by affiliating with teams from Université Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas, Sciences Po, and Collège de France. Key milestones involved joint programs with International Monetary Fund, participation in conferences at Palais Bourbon, and hosting symposia attended by scholars from London School of Economics, Harvard University, Yale University, and Princeton University.
The laboratory is structured as a joint unit involving CNRS and multiple universities, with a governance council comprising representatives from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, École normale supérieure, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Université Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas, and affiliated research centers such as INSEE and ANR. Administrative oversight coordinates with departmental bodies including Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Innovation and funding agencies like European Commission research programs and ERC. Leadership rotates among directors nominated by partner institutions, with advisory boards drawing members from American Economic Association, Royal Economic Society, International Economics Association, and editorial boards of journals such as Econometrica and Journal of Political Economy.
Research spans microeconomic theory linked to traditions from Kenneth Arrow, John Hicks, and Amartya Sen; macroeconomic studies influenced by John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman; and applied work in labor markets drawing on Gary Becker and Jan Tinbergen. Other themes include industrial organization following Jean Tirole, public economics engaging with James Buchanan, behavioral economics building on Daniel Kahneman and Richard Thaler, development economics referencing Esther Duflo and Abhijit Banerjee, and finance connecting to Robert Shiller and Eugene Fama. Empirical methods incorporate techniques from Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences laureates and use datasets maintained by World Bank, OECD, Eurostat, and Bank for International Settlements. Cross-disciplinary projects link to scholars in political science such as Robert Dahl and sociologists like Pierre Bourdieu.
The laboratory contributes to doctoral programs jointly administered with École normale supérieure, Sciences Po, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and Université Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas, supervising theses that engage with methodologies taught in coursework comparable to programs at London School of Economics, Columbia University, and MIT. It organizes seminars and advanced courses in collaboration with visiting professors from Harvard University, Princeton University, Stanford University, and University of Chicago. Professional training initiatives have included executive modules delivered with Banque de France and policy workshops co-sponsored by OECD and IMF.
Faculty and affiliates publish in leading journals including Econometrica, Journal of Political Economy, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Review of Economic Studies, American Economic Review, and specialized outlets like Journal of Economic Literature and Journal of Monetary Economics. The laboratory maintains a working paper series that disseminates preprints similar to series from National Bureau of Economic Research and Centre for Economic Policy Research, and editors serve on editorial boards of European Economic Review, Economic Journal, and Journal of Economic Perspectives. Monographs and edited volumes have appeared with publishers such as Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and MIT Press.
Collaborative networks include partnerships with CNRS, ANR, European Commission Horizon 2020, ERC, World Bank, IMF, OECD, and academic exchanges with University of California, Berkeley, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Yale University, Columbia University, University of Toronto, National Bureau of Economic Research, and Centre for Economic Policy Research. The laboratory participates in European consortia with Max Planck Society, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Italian National Research Council, and research initiatives involving UNESCO and Council of Europe.
Affiliated faculty and alumni include scholars who have held positions or been visiting researchers at institutions such as École normale supérieure, Sciences Po, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, London School of Economics, Harvard University, Princeton University, Yale University, MIT, Stanford University, Columbia University, University of Chicago, European Central Bank, Banque de France, World Bank, and IMF. Many have received recognition from bodies like the European Research Council, French Academy of Sciences, and memberships in academies including Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques and Royal Society. Selected alumni have gone on to roles at Ministère de l'Économie et des Finances, OECD, European Commission, Bank for International Settlements, and central banks and ministries internationally.
