EconomiX UMR7235

What EconomiX UMR7235 does

EconomiX UMR7235 is a French public research laboratory (Unité Mixte de Recherche 7235) founded in 2005 through the merger of four CNRS units and operating under the dual supervision of CNRS and Université Paris Nanterre. The laboratory is headquartered in Nanterre, France (Bâtiment Maurice Allais, 200 Avenue de la République) and conducts fundamental and applied economics research across three axes: Transitions/Environment/Energy/Institutions/Territories; Behaviors/Rights/Well-being; and International Macroeconomics/Finance/Raw Materials/Financial Econometrics. Its research infrastructure includes the LEENa experimental economics laboratory (Laboratoire d'Économie Expérimentale de Nanterre) and the PEPs psycholinguistic experimentation platform (Plateforme d'Expérimentation en Cognition Linguistique et Psycholinguistique), the latter shared with Modyco UMR 7114.

EconomiX produces academic outputs including journal articles, working papers, books, and book chapters, all deposited in the HAL open science repository. It runs regular academic events—the LIEN seminar series, TELE webinars, workshops on econometrics and gender issues—and supports PhD training and job market placement for doctoral graduates. The laboratory also publishes a periodic newsletter (Lettre d'EconomiX) and operates a visiting professors program.

The laboratory is funded through public research grants from CNRS and Université Paris Nanterre and does not generate commercial revenue. It has approximately 22 employees and is led by Director Phu Nguyen-Van, with governance supported by Université Paris Nanterre's Department of Economics (Christophe Boucher) and a Consultative Discipline Committee (Valérie Mignon). Distribution channels are academic (HAL repository, seminars, newsletter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Bluesky), with no commercial GTM motion.

Broad incumbents

• CESifo Group: CESifo is a Munich-based international economic research network affiliated with LMU and the ifo Institute. It is comparable to EconomiX as an academic economics research and publication network, but operating on a broader European scale rather than as a single French laboratory.
• Banque de France – Research Division: Banque de France's research division conducts monetary, financial, and macroeconomic research and hosts academic conferences. It is comparable to EconomiX as a French institution producing top-tier research in macroeconomics, finance, and econometrics, though with a much broader mandate.
• CEPR (Centre for Economic Policy Research): CEPR is a European-wide network fostering economic policy research. It is comparable to EconomiX as an institutional platform for academic economics research, conferences, and publications, though at a pan-European scale rather than a single French lab.

Emerging players

• IZA (Institute of Labor Economics): IZA is an international economics research institute focused on labor economics, with strong European policy engagement. It is comparable to EconomiX's Behaviors/Rights/Well-being axis and its engagement with public policy debate, while being broader and more internationally oriented.
