SCOR-PSE Chair, First Annual Conference on Macroeconomic Risks
To promote the development and dissemination of macroeconomic risk research, the SCOR Corporate Foundation for Science and the Paris School of Economics (PSE) created a research chair in Macroeconomic Risk in 2017.
The Chair’s first inaugural conference, held in Paris, featured presentations by notable academics and business leaders on a variety of risk-related subjects, including the link between uncertainty and growth, the relationship between confidence and business cycles, interest rate risk management, and the riskless rate.
Xavier Gabaix, of Harvard University, delivered a keynote lecture on “Disaster Risk in Macroeconomics and Finance”. The conference concluded with a panel discussion on “Are we at risk of a new financial crisis?” in which François de Varenne, CEO of SCOR Global Investments, spoke alongside Olivier Garnier (General Director, Economics and International, Banque de France) and Gilles Saint-Paul (PSE-ENS, Scientific Director of the Chair).
Each future conference will focus on a different, timely topic.
