After a good 9-month gestation with Pedro Duarte, a birth assisted by the more benevolent and skilled team I could think of. Many thanks to CIRED researchers
for the warm welcome and fruitful discussions

"Once we open the door to consider catastrophic change, a whole new debate is engaged...If we cannot reliably judge how potential geophysical changes will affect civilization, can we use the plain vanilla cost-benefit analysis (or even the Haagen Dazs variety in dynamic optimization models)?"
Great quote by Koopmans on tractability traps in economics (or trampolines?)
I wish I had remembered it earlier
"Tools tools also have a life of their own. They may even come to dominate an entire period or school of thought. Our servants may thus become our guides, for better or for worse, depending on the accidents of the case"
Below is one longstanding pillars of how to interpret time-discounting in econ models
Has any econ written models relying on assumption that future generations are likely to be less wealthy (not as a policy, as in degrowth, as a fact. Not just in env research, maybe war related?)
(and no, I'm not a millenarist for asking this. these are serious research questions)
"What is a field?" interesting take by Jeffrey Lockhart on a question I've long struggled with (HT

..so teaching will take place either at ENSAE or Polytechnique
We’re a mix of econ, finance, stats and socio researchers with often strong applied/metrics DNA. It’s a great environment w/ little silos, researchers from various fields routinely attend others’ seminars
We have amazing students (see their placement below)
feel free to email me or any colleague if you have any question
CREST/ENSAE/Polytechnique is hiring
we have several econ positions at assistant/associate level, any field econjobmarket.org/positions/9867
Our lab results from the merger of the dpts of econ of Polytechnique (France’s 1er engineering school) & ENSAEparis (which trains public statisticians).
