Ivan Jaccard
Ivan Jaccard worked at the European Central Bank as an Economist/Senior Economist from 2008 until his passing in 2024.
After completing his PhD at HEC Lausanne in 2006 and a stay as a visiting scholar at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Ivan Jaccard joined the Directorate General Research. While he had been in DGR since he started at the ECB, he also worked in the Directorate General Economics in 2014 and more recently on climate-modelling between September 2022 and September 2023. During his career, he also had the opportunity to teach the "Principles of Economics" course for Master in Law and Finance students at the Goethe University from 2011 to 2014, and a course on the Eurozone economy as an invited professor at the Université Paris-Dauphine in 2019.
Ivan Jaccard was passionate about economic research and its value for economic policy. His interests and expertise were related to macro-financial linkages, financial stability, real estate markets, asset pricing, monetary and fiscal policy, the Eurozone economy and environmental economics. His work was published in top quality scientific journals, and his paper on Green asset pricing (joint with Ghassane Benmir and Gauthier Vermandel) won the European Finance Association's prize for best paper in responsible finance in 2021.
Ivan Jaccard was also actively engaged in mentoring young economists and junior colleagues at the ECB, as it was important to him to pass on his knowledge and experience to the younger generation. To honour his commitment to students, the Directorate General Research has named its Summer research graduate programme after him.
More information about his professional background can be found in his CV (June 2022).
