Founded in 2010, the Climate Economics Chair (CEC) at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL is an academic research platform dedicated to the economics of climate change. It combines research, teaching, and professional dialogue to foster a better understanding of climate and economic issues.
In this context, the CEC serves as a privileged forum for exchange between academic research, public institutions, and private companies, with a strong emphasis on research-based training. The Chair currently hosts more than twenty ongoing PhD theses, enabling it to address a wide range of issues related to the low-carbon transition from the perspective of firms, citizens, and public actors.
They are the Chair:
Anna Creti, Professor at Paris Dauphine, PSL – CEC Director
Marc Baudry, Professor at Paris-Nanterre – Head of the CEC Carbon Pricing & Low-Carbon Innovation Cluster
Philippe Delacote, Research Director at INRAE – Head of the CEC Agriculture and Forests Cluster
Olivier Massol, Professor at CentraleSupélec – Head of the CEC Energy Transitions Cluster
Training:
44 defended theses, 5 post-doctoral researchers, and around 7–8 Master’s interns per year
Scientific output & publications:
162 peer-reviewed journal articles, 129 Working Papers, 104 Climat & Débats
29 books
For 15 years, the Climate Economics Chair has been committed to:
Our PhD candidates receive top-level training in environmental, energy, and climate economics, and then pursue a variety of careers in academia, public institutions, and the private sector. The CEC pursues a goal of scientific excellence, reflected in its numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals.
European climate policies:
Analysis of the long-term challenges of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) for achieving carbon neutrality.
International trade and forests:
Study of the implications of international trade on forests, in relation to climate mitigation and adaptation.
Carbon pricing:
Research on carbon pricing mechanisms and their effectiveness in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.
Agrivoltaics:
Socio-economic analysis of projects combining agriculture and photovoltaic production, assessing their impacts on rural communities and energy production.
Decarbonized power systems:
Study of the vulnerabilities and resilience of decarbonized electricity systems to climate change, focusing on socio-economic dimensions.
Tariff mechanisms for the energy transition:
Examination of tariff and contractual mechanisms supporting the shift towards sustainable energy sources.
Residential energy efficiency:
Measurement and evaluation of sobriety and energy efficiency in the French residential sector, identifying key levers for improvement.
Voluntary carbon offsets:
Studies on the economics of voluntary carbon offsetting and its role and effectiveness in combating climate change.
Investors’ expectations and financial regulation:
Analysis of the role of investor expectations and financial regulation in the low-carbon transition.
Climate justice in times of crisis:
Exploration of the ethical and political dimensions of climate justice in the face of economic and social crises.
Recycled raw materials:

The Chair promotes diversity of backgrounds to enrich economic and climate analyses, welcoming researchers and students with varied profiles (nationalities, genders, experiences). It cultivates an environment based on exchange, mutual respect, and cooperation.
The Climate Economics Chair develops partnerships with a broad range of academic, public, and private institutions to strengthen the relevance and impact of its research. It collaborates with universities, research centers, companies, and public actors to deepen climate and economic issues. These collaborations allow the cross-fertilization of knowledge and expertise in an interdisciplinary approach essential to support the environmental transition at both global and local scales.
Creation of the 2023/2024 LinkedIn series “Climate Economics: CEC explains” with video contributions from PhD students and researchers on their research topics.
