The Centre for Economics at Paris-Saclay (CEPS) constitutes a federation of research units of economics at Paris-Saclay University, CEPS-ENS and EPEE, and comes along with the research unit for Agricultural Economics (PSAE).

It is located on two campuses, both around 25 km from Paris:

Research

The CEPS research activities cover broad areas in economics around three fields :

This dynamic is reinforced by : 

  • Competitive third-party funding from the French National Research Agency (ANR)
  • Doctoral fellowships and PhD Track supported by our funding institutions, ENS Paris-Saclay, University of Evry-Val d’Essonne and Paris-Saclay University.
  • A publicly financed Laboratory of Excellence, the Labex MME-DII (Economic and Mathematical Models of Dynamics, Uncertainty and Interaction), through a consortium of departments at different universities.
  • The MSH Paris-Saclay (Maison des sciences de l’Homme Paris-Saclay), a research structure financially supporting, promoting and disseminating research in humanities and social sciences within the Paris-Saclay area.

Graduate School

The CEPS actively takes part of the Graduate School of Economics & Management at Paris-Saclay University, combining departments and research units with different backgrounds and diverse horizons. This pluridisciplinary is the intrinsic nature of the PhD programme, based on a research pedagogy, providing pluralism and consistency. Altogether together they form the required excellence PhD programme on which the CEPS is based.
