L’environnement macroéconomique contemporain est particulièrement incertain : les stratégies monétaires non-conventionnelles, les forts niveaux d’endettements privés et publics, l’aléa politique dans de nombreux pays et l’incertitude concernant l’avenir de la productivité et de la croissance y concourent, de même que les risques d’occurrence de chocs rares mais extrêmes, liés notamment au changement climatique ou à la montée du terrorisme.

Sous la direction scientifique de Gilles Saint-Paul (PSE, ENS) et la direction exécutive d’Axelle Ferriere (PSE, CNRS), la Chaire Risque macroéconomique vise à explorer ces évolutions et plus largement à promouvoir le développement et la diffusion de la recherche sur le risque macroéconomique.

A cet effet, une lettre d’information, entièrement en anglais, voit le jour, synthétisant les travaux réalisés ou diffusés dans le cadre de la chaire.
