Prizes and distinctions : Fanny Henriet wins the 2023 CNRS bronze medal

Fanny Henriet, Professor at Paris School of Economics and Research Fellow at the CNRS, is among the laureates of this prize which rewards initial research that has established a researcher as a specialist in their field. This distinction is a form of encouragement to pursue research that is already well underway and proving successful.

Fanny Henriet is a researcher committed to a ZEN world – with zero net emissions – and seeks to evaluate the impacts on the economy of environmental policy in general, and of climate and energy transition policies in particular. Using theoretical, empirical, and numerical approaches, she first addressed the issue of measuring the damages related to extreme weather events, such as floods, and then assessed the cost to the French economy of a climate policy aiming to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by a factor of four over the medium term. More recently, she has been working on green taxation through the effects of the implementation of a carbon price on resources. In her work, Fanny Henriet studies the substitution capacity between fossil fuels and other types of consumer goods and factors of production, as well as the role (and pace) of technical progress.
