(SCOR-PSE Chair) Newsletter #5 - September 2020

The SCOR-PSE Chair on Macroeconomic Risk has been launched in June 2018. Held by PSE, it is financed by the SCOR Foundation for Science.

Under the scientific leadership of Gilles Saint-Paul (PSE, ENS) and the executive leadership of Axelle Ferriere (PSE, CNRS), the SCOR–PSE chair aims to promote the development and dissemination of research into a number of areas linked to the issue of macroeconomic risk.

To contribute to this goal, a newsletter is released three times a year, summarizing the research performed and promoted within the Chair (to read the previous newsletters, follow this link).
