The Department of Economics hosts several chairs, each producing articles, books, conferences, seminars and workshops. The Chairs Update is intended to be a regular communication link between the Department and its sponsors, to be also diffused to the École's community at large.
Each issue will provide a focused review of an ongoing research program and discuss some of its major policy implications. The Chairs Update will also inform on future workshops and seminars .
