(Sept. 2021) The PPD Masters programme : applications are now open !
The PPD – Public Policy and Development Masters Program is co-accredited by the EHESS, the ENS-PSL, the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and is certified by the Paris School of Economics. It is also co-funded by the IRD and the Cepremap.
PPD in a few words
The social demand for the quantitative evaluation of public policies is rising. Demand for more precise evaluation is seen everywhere and at all levels of society – central and local administration, firms, civil society – in advanced or developing countries as well as in international organizations.
In this context, PSE has created in 2008 the Public Policy and Development Masters program (PPD). The PPD master is a two-year research-based training program. It prepares students to become experts in designing, analyzing and evaluating public policies in both developed and developing countries. It combines rigorous training in analytical and quantitative economic methods with an emphasis on both policy and practice.
Once graduated, half of PPD students go on into a PhD program, mostly at PSE. The other half enter a professional career. 95% of them secure a job even before the dissertation defense, and work in international organizations (the European Commission, OECD, UN agencies, WTO, etc.), development agencies (World Bank, AFD, etc.), public administration, research labs, NGOs and the private sector (banks, consultancy).
Applications
Applications for the year 2021 open on January 1, 2021 via the www.pse-application.eu platform until March 7, 2021.
The admission results will be available between the 12 and the 14 of April by email and/or via the applications platform.

(February 1st) Policy Panel “The monetary-fiscal policy mix strikes back – which lessons for Europe?”
The Banque de France – PSE Chair is pleased to invite you to a policy panel online (Webex) on the launch of the 23rd Geneva Report on the World Economy:
The monetary-fiscal policy mix strikes back – which lessons for Europe?
Date: February 1st, 2021 ; 4:00 pm-5:30 pm The policy panel will be held online (Webex).
To recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, Europe is in urgent need of expansionary macroeconomic policies. At the same time, unprecedented levels of public debt reduce the scope for fiscal expansion, and nominal interest rates close to zero make traditional monetary policy inoperative. How can macroeconomic policies contribute to bringing Europe back to a path of sustained and stable growth? A recent Geneva report on the world economy argues that to answer this question, we need to reconsider how monetary and fiscal policies work and are effective together when both have limited policy space. The authors bring the classical theory of the “policy-mix”, half-forgotten during the era of inflation targeting monetary policy, back on the table, and highlight key lessons for the 21st century. In this first edition of the Chair Banque de France Policy Panel, the authors of the report discuss their conclusions for monetary-fiscal policy coordination in Europe with experts in the field.

Conducted entirely in English, the PSE Summer School offers 8 one-week programs. Each program comprises a full-time mix of lectures, tutorials and workshops, taught by PSE professors and other invited leading scholars.
The impacts of climate change on the economy (in particular, on health, income, migration, etc.) and the appropriate regulation of « the greatest externality the world has ever seen », as the Stern Review puts it, are increasingly at the center of the policy and scientific debate. This program introduces participants to the cutting-edge research on the topic and familiarizes them with the relevant methods of analysis (econometric analysis, dynamic modelling).
Instructors: Mireille Chiroleu-Assouline, François Libois, Katrin Millock, Hélène Ollivier, Giovanni Peri and Katheline Schubert
Institutions and social frictions (associated with inequalities, political conflicts, corruption, and cultural polarization) are central themes in development economics. This program gets you up to speed with the existing academic literature and current debates. The professors will present leading theories, introduce different research methods, and take stock of the existing empirical evidence on inequality and institutional development.
Instructors: François Bourguignon, Oliver Vanden Eynde, Thierry Verdier and Ekaterina Zhuravskaya
While experiments have been seen for long as a specific domain within economics, the experimental method is now widely considered as a tool among others in the typical economist’s toolbox. Its use has shed light on many areas, on the theoretical side as on the more applied and descriptive ones. It has led to the development of “behavioral economics”, but its relevance is much wider than just that. This program offers an overview of experimental methods and techniques aimed at understanding economic behavior: how to design, implement and analyze an experiment so to answer a research question.
Instructors: Béatrice Boulu-Reshef, Fabrice Etilé, Nicolas Jacquemet, Olivier L’Haridon and Angelo Secchi
This programme addresses recent debates at the frontier of the field: globalization, the distributive effects of trade, the role of large firms in the global economy, advances in methods to analyze firm level export data and finally the revival of trade policies. The professors will cover many topics, from the quantitative trade models, the links between trade and income distribution, firm productivity gains and wages, to the role of tax and trade policies, but also the political economy of trade policy and the impact of dis‐integration shocks such as Brexit..
Instructors: Anne-Célia Disdier, Peter Egger, Mathieu Parenti and Ariell Reshef
This program introduces students to state of the art research on a variety of topics by covering both short-term macro analysis in closed and open economies and medium-term issues such as bubbles, unemployment, inequalities and fiscal policies. The aim is to provide the essential toolbox of macroeconomics. Emphasis is put on introducing tools and developing deep understanding of current issues.
Instructors: Florin Bilbiie, Axelle Ferrière, Jean-Olivier Hairault, Francesco Pappada, Romain Rancière et Gilles Saint-Paul.
This program presents recent developments in the microeconomic analysis of impact evaluation. Providing a credible estimation of a causal effect has become a standard in economic analysis, both in research papers and policy reports. But it is also equally important to integrate the estimated effects into economic models, in order to improve the design of policies. The professors therefore propose a comprehensive approach of policy analysis and aim at providing theoretical insights on methods for public policy evaluation, as well as experience in data manipulation and Stata software.
Instructors: Margherita Comola, Philipp Ketz, David Margolis and Liam Wren Lewis
Migration is a major aspect of globalization and is increasingly at the center of the public and policy debate. This course aims to present frontier research on the economics of migration and to provide the tools to contribute to this field. How does climate change affect migration? What is the relationship between migration, other dimensions of globalization, and development? What are the public finance and demographic effect of immigration for the host countries? What are the effects of immigration on the labor market? How do host societies adapt to increasingly diverse population?
Instructors: Hippolyte d’Albis, Toman Barsbai, Camille Hémet, Katrin Millock, Giovanni Peri and Hillel Rapoport
This program introduces participants to the key concepts at the frontier of applied platform economics. It covers two-sided markets, where two groups interact through an intermediary, or platforms, that captures the value of externalities between the groups. Two-sided markets and networks can be found in many industries, including search engines or communication networks such as the media and the internet. We will focus on these industries, and propose a discussion on important issues that are currently debated in the economic literature and policy circles: Platforms and Data, Media Platforms and Advertising, Social Media Platforms, and Search and Platform Design.
Instructors: Francis Bloch, Philippe Gagnepain, Régis Renault and Nikhil Vellodi

(A word from) Anne-Célia Disdier: “International trade and health and technical standards: what is at stake?”
Anne-Célia Disdier is professor at PSE and research director at the INRAE. In February 2020, she published “Mondialisation des échanges et protection des consommateurs : Comment les concilier ?” (Globalisation of trade and consumer protection: how can they be reconciled?) in the “Collection du Cepremap” (Éditions rue d’Ulm). Using findings from research conducted over 15 years, she suggests a number of courses of action, both to improve inter-country coordination of rules and to incorporate developing countries more effectively into international regulatory schemes.
How and why did health and technical standards emerge to regulate the exchange and consumption of products?
The implementation of these standards is motivated by the protection and safety of consumers. As a result of a great many food and environmental scandals in the past few decades, customers are highly suspicious of the existing systems of information, about both the quality of products and the protection offered by public regulators. Public authorities have thus defined and introduced health and technical norms, which cover all products – from food to children’s toys with potentially toxic paint, fabric, cosmetics and household cleaning products. Statistics show significant growth over the past ten years in the number of standards introduced around the world, including in developing countries, which are adopting such measures partly in response to the norms established in developed countries.
Who determines these standards and since when?
At the international level, the standards are governed by two WTO – World Trade Organisation agreements: the SPS Agreement on Sanitary and PhytoSanitary measures, which has existed since the creation of the WTO in 1995, and the TBT Agreement on the Technical Barriers to Trade, first signed in 1980 and revived at the founding of the WTO. These agreements specify that the norms must be based on scientific evidence and that international standards must be preferred. A number of these international standards are defined in the Codex Alimentarius (1). However, countries have the right to define their own norms, which are often stricter than the international edicts.
There are several mechanisms for measuring the implementation and coordination of these standards among countries: the transparency approach, whereby states inform each other about the steps they have taken; the mutual recognition process, wherein states recognise the equivalence of their partners’ standards; and the harmonisation framework, within which the various partners adopt the same standards. Nevertheless, these standards can also serve protectionist purposes for states tempted to use them to protect not (or not only) their consumers but also their domestic producers from international competition. Then, rivalry and trade disputes emerge among states…
Which countries dominate the market and profit the most from these standards?
The two biggest players in the definition and implementation of norms are the United States and the European Union. These markets are attractive because of their size but anyone who wants to export their products to them must adhere to their standards. They have also signed many preferential trade agreements with third party countries and have thus imposed, through these agreements and by reason of their bargaining power, their own norms on the rest of the world. Yet these two states have opposing views on risk and therefore on standardisation policies. While in Europe, the precautionary principle prevails, this is not the case in the United States. In Europe, firms cannot put a product on the market if it has not been shown to be healthy and without risk. In the United States, the dominant approach is the so-called “precautionary approach”: firms can put a product on the market so long as there is no proven risk, and thus they have greater room to manoeuvre.
The United States and the European Union also have different views on risk arising from their cultural differences. Take, for example, their differing attitudes to genetically modified organisms, hormone-treated meat, and dairy products made with unpasteurised milk. These differences generate different standards but can also be a recurring source of tensions between these two partners which, through the spill-over effect, affects third party countries and international trade as a whole.
What impact do these norms have on developing countries?
Developing countries are clearly the most affected, for a number of reasons. First, because the international regulatory framework is not adapted to their situation: they have little input into the definition of standards, at either the multilateral level or in the bilateral or regional preferential trade agreements that they negotiate, especially with developed countries. They are also affected by the very high costs of making their products conform to the norms: firms in these countries cannot cope with the added costs and thus are excluded from international trade.
As well, multiple institutional and infrastructural obstacles prevent companies in developing countries from meeting the norms imposed by their trading partners or, when they can do so, from obtaining the necessary certifications. Access to information is also a problem: it is more difficult for them to know what the prevailing norms are in foreign markets. Finally, these countries are particularly affected because they are faced with the large number of standards imposed on the agricultural sector, which remains their main export sector. And so a paradox appears: in the name of development, developed countries allow reduced customs duties – even no customs duties at all – to the developing economies, but these market advantages are of little use in reality insofar as the implementation of standards significantly limits developing countries’ exports to the rest of the world.
What solutions are you proposing for a better balance, especially in the context of a health crisis such as the one we are currently living through?
To meet the challenges ahead of us, it is essential to involve the developing countries more effectively in the definition of international standards. And since the current health crisis doubles as an economic crisis, we must also improve the technical assistance they are offered in order to help them to meet the requirements imposed by the standards, and by adapting this assistance to the real needs of each of them. It would also help to establish more complementarity between private and public standards: very many private standards are imposed by the companies themselves and are therefore not subject to the international regulations. We must also demand more scientific justification for some of the norms. Finally, and again linked to the current crisis, customers must be better informed about the process of establishing standards and the health and environmental protection they are offered.
However, without question, the greatest challenge is the revival of international cooperation in regulatory matters. Multilateral negotiations over trade policy have stopped and the recent resignation of the Director-General of the WTO, Roberto Azevedo, has only aggravated the deep crisis in which the organisation has found itself in the last few years. To these difficulties, we can add the backdrop of the trade war between the US and China, and the growing protectionism in many countries. Without the WTO, it is hard to have a proactive approach to international standards and cooperation around regulations at the international level. We can expect, then, that some norms, already sometimes used to protectionist ends, will be so used even more often in the near future.
On what research results do you base your proposals in this book?
All the propositions are informed by several projects on standards that I have been researching for the past 15 years, which investigate – via various analytical methods – their impact, not only on international trade, but also on well-being. This led us, Marco Fugazza, economist at the UNCTAD (2) and me, to write up a practical guide to these norms (3), intended for public decision makers and researchers; the objective is to share knowledge, including with colleagues in developing countries so that they can assess the effects of norms on their economies, using methods now approved by various scientific publications.

The Ardian Foundation, the DEPP and the PSE create a new chair “Education Policy and Social Mobility”
The Ardian Foundation – under the aegis of the Fondation de France, the DEPP (Direction de l’évaluation, de la prospective et de la performance) of the Ministry for National Education, Youth and Sports, and the Paris School of Economics (PSE) have just created a new research chair “Education Policy and Social Mobility” within the PSE.
Led by Luc Behaghel (PSE, INRAE) and Julien Grenet (PSE, CNRS), the aim of this research chair is to identify the causes of inequalities in access to education, and to identify the policies and actions best suited to correct them. This is a key issue for all citizens, which concerns not only public decision makers but also civil society and philanthropic groups that devote much effort to supporting young people and their families.
Supporting such programmes is at the heart of the Ardian Foundation’s work, which aims to “help children and young people to look to the future and become aware of their own potential”, says Yann Bak, President of the Foundation. “We are proud to support this research programme that will contribute to improving our understanding of social mobility and building a more inclusive society.”
Education is an issue of paramount importance for contemporary societies. Education policies and developments in academic achievements explain in large part the levels of growth and prosperity of countries. At the individual level, education is a crucial determinant not only of wages and employment status, but also of health and wellbeing. However, there are large gaps in access to education in every society, which the Covid-19 pandemic has underscored and deepened.
For Jean-Olivier Hairault, Director of the PSE, “the research will aim to supply various parties with the analytical frameworks they need in order to take action, and will be based in particular on assessments of experimental interventions in the field, as well as on the analysis of past and present policies”. In his view, “this research is a most effective way for PSE to bring researchers, decision makers and economic organizations together to address some of our most pressing social questions.”
The Ardian Foundation, the DEPP and the PSE intend to make this “Education Policy and Social Mobility” research chair a privileged space for fruitful interactions between research and practice. The objective is to improve the level of education of those segments of the population in most difficulty by identifying the most effective levers. Through original and rigorous work, the scientific teams hope to contribute to efficient and innovative education policies that take advantage of new technologies.
Fabienne Rosenwald, Director of the DEPP, attests to this ambition: “We are stimulating research into education in order to enrich the public debate and to clarify public choices, on the one hand by supporting education researchers, and on the other hand by transferring the results of that research to decision makers as well as to the general public.” She stresses the importance of continuing partnerships: “the creation of this unit is another step forward in consolidating our existing links with PSE. We are delighted to be taking part in this adventure that will improve our knowledge and understanding of the education system and its inequalities, in all their dimensions. This is very exciting for the development of our relationships with researchers.”
Steering Committee
To coordinate the work, the research chair will have a steering committee, whose members have been chosen among the 3 participating institutions: Luc Behaghel (PSE Professor, research Director at INRAE) and Julien Grenet (PSE Professor, Senior Researcher at CNRS), Fabienne Rosenwald (Director of the DEPP), Thierry Rocher (Assistant to the deputy-director in charge of evaluations and performance), Amir Sharifi, Raphaëlle Muhlmann-Eytan and Hadia Kebe (members of the Ardian Foundation).
The Chair Partners
The Ardian Foundation was created in 2010 by Ardian, a global leader in private investment, with the aim of encouraging social mobility through the education of children, students and young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds. Under the aegis of the Fondation de France, the Foundation manages an annual budget of three million euros, part of which is donated by Ardian personnel themselves. It also serves as a forum for Ardian employees to engage in charitable projects. Almost a third of Ardian employees are involved in its activities, not only as sponsors of young people but also as participants in the foundation’s events and training programmes, and through relationships with partner associations. The Ardian Foundation supports projects in eight countries in Europe, Asia and North America.
The DEPP (Office for evaluation, forecasting and performance of the National ministry of education, youth and sport) is in charge of evaluation and performance measurement in the fields of education and training. It contributes to the evaluation of policies enacted by the ministry. Facilitating research into education is part of its mission.
The Paris School of Economics is one of the top-ranking economics research and teaching centres in the world, covering a broad range of topics, in most domains of economics, especially in the economics of education. One of PSE’s missions is to strengthen dialogue between academia and public and private enterprises, via its partnership programme, which works through research chairs such as this one.
