Working Papers

 

The theory group brings together permanent faculty and PhD students on both campus, at ENS Paris-Saclay and Evry Paris-Saclay. Research topics cover a wide range of subfields: contract theory, behavioral economics, decision theory, experimental economics, game theory, general equilibrium, market design, matching, mechanism design and social choice.

The group participates actively at the Paris-Saclay Seminar, a weekly general research seminar on Thursdays at 12.15pm. Two dedicated seminars are organized:

  • The Economic Theory Seminar, on Fridays at noon, twice per month.
  • The Virtual Market Design Seminar, an open online and inter-institutional seminar, in cooperation with the University of Bonn, University of Cologne, KIT and ZEW. It takes place bi-weekly on Mondays at 4pm.

The faculty is raising third-party funding to organize on regularly basis scientific events in Paris and abroad.
