With Jean-Pierre Danthine as President and Pierre-Yves Geoffard as Director, the Paris School of Economics aims to bring together, invigorate and ensure the influence of French economic science around the world, creating a capacity to keep and to attract the best researchers to France.

The foundation offers high-quality teaching through two Master programmes (APE, and PPD) and a PhD programme (within EDE-EPS). PSE has also developed strong links with different economic knowledge “users”: academics, institutions and private stakeholders. With an initial public grant from the central French state, PSE was created by six founding members: the CNRS, the EHESS, the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, the ENS, the INRA and the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

Paris School of Economics aims to develop economics research of the highest international standard and to disseminate the results. It brings together a community of 140 researchers and around 180 PhD students, and offers teaching in Masters courses at the cutting edge of the discipline (to 220 Masters students - sept. 2016).

Founded by the CNRS, the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, the École Normale Supérieure, the École des Ponts-ParisTech, INRA, and the University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, the PSE project involves private and institutional partners. Now firmly established as a feature on the global academic landscape, PSE breaks down all kinds of barriers in order to attain its goal of excellence: it brings together the university and the grands écoles, promotes exchanges between economic analysis and the other social sciences, delivers its scholarship to a broad public, and supports the work of its teams in multiple partnerships with public institutions and private organisations.
