Award:Gilles SAINT-PAUL :Yjro Jahnsson award of the European Economic Association

We are truly delighted to announce that Gilles SAINT-PAUL has received the prestigious Yjro Jahnsson award of the European Economic Association. This award is granted every other year to a European based economist under the age of 45 who has made a contribution to theoretical and applied research that is significant to economics in Europe. Gilles is the third Toulouse economist to receive this award since its creation in 1993. Gilles has advanced our understanding of the factors of technological progress and growth. He has made deep contributions to economists' views on labor markets and the political economy of unemployment, on the impact of financial structures on the firms' technological choices, and on the link between public debt and growth. More recently, he has worked on how information technology affects wage inequality, and on the role of managerial beliefs in business cycles. We are proud to have Gilles in our team and are extremely pleased that his very creative contributions are recognized by the most prestigious prize to be awarded to a European economist.
