The Econometric Society Announces Election Results
Founded in the early 1930's by the American Economic Association, the American Statistical Association, and the American Mathematical Society, the Econometric Society (ES) is an international society for the advancement of economic theory in its relation to statistics and mathematics.
The Society is most well-known for the publication of three journals: Econometrica - one of the "Top 5" reviews in the discipline - Quantitative Economics, and Theoretical Economics. But it also publishes a research Monograph Series and organises world conferences in six regions of the world.
On October 11th, the Econometric Society announced the election results of its Officers and Council. Jean-Marc Robin, Professor and former Head of the Department, was elected Second Vice-President. He will serve as of 2025 and presumably become First Vice-President in 2027. Jean-Marc has been an ES Fellow since 2007 and has also been elected to ES' Council twice (in 2009 and 2020). To be elected ES Officer is a tremendous honour and Jean-Marc Robin will be the first faculty member of Sciences Po's Department of Economics to serve the society.
The ES is one of the oldest international societies in economics.
Indeed, looking at the list of past presidents is humbling.

The Econometric Society also announced the election of 42 new Fellows in 2024, among whom includes Thomas Chaney (USC), an Affiliated Professor at the Department and faculty member of the University of Southern California (USC). In addition to Jean-Marc Robin and Thomas Chaney, three other faculty members have been so distinguished - Thierry Mayer was elected Fellow in 2023, Moshe Buchinsky and Alfred Galichon were elected Fellows in 2020.
Jean-Marc Robin joined the Department in 2010 as Professor of Economics and served as Chair from 2013 to 2018.

Since 2019, Jean-Marc ROBIN is a Senior Member of the prestigious Institut universitaire de France (IUF).
