AFPSE MISSION

The American Foundation for the Paris School of Economics is a 501(c)3 organization 
dedicated to the advancement of economic understanding in France and elsewhere.

Partners have included the Collège de France, the Académie des sciences Morales et politiques, the French Ministry of Education, the German Marshall Fund of the United States

 

The mission of the Corporation is to promote a better understanding of contemporary economic and social issues in France and elsewhere in the world by providing financial support for graduate teaching and research in economics, public policy analysis, development, international relations, demography and related fields.

This support will primarily but not necessarily exclusively consist of providing financial assistance to l’Ecole d’Economie de Paris (Paris School of Economics), an autonomous graduate educational institution located in Paris, France, dedicated to teaching, scholarship and policy analysis at the highest level.  The Corporation will provide financial support for both traditional graduate programs of teaching and research, and other endeavors to explain the relevance of modern economic analysis for public policy.

The Corporation’s assistance may also consist of the funding of teaching chairs, student fellowships, research, publications, international exchange, and all such activities as are related to its mission.  In the pursuit of this mission, the Corporation may support activities in France, the United States, or elsewhere.

Joint Work with French Ministry of Education and College de France

--------------

George de Menil, Treasurer, and Pierre-Andre Chiappori, Board member, actively participated in the group of experts appointed by the Ministry of Education, which drafted the new SES program. AFPSE also recruited and retained Laura Leker, a PSE Phd, and a professional actress, to write the problem sets which accompany the new program on the dedicated web site of the College de France. Finally, AFPSE is funding the creation by Laura Leker of animated videos to explain the key concepts of the new program:

PSE DE-GLOBALIZATION RESEARCH PROJECT 

The goal of this project is to analyse the challenges posed by the current phase of de-globalisation. The focus is on the empirical evaluation of policies pursued at state level but also on the various initiatives taken by firms to adjust to this new situation in order to reduce vulnerability to shocks and dependence on foreign countries and to strengthen competitive advantages and innovation.
