Camille Souffron

Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS-PSL), Paris

I am an French economist (MSc.), an economics student (a normalien) at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) of Paris, and a graduate student at the Paris School of Economics. I am also a Lecturer of environmental economics at the ENS and in several universities and Grandes Ecoles, and a Research Fellow (on leave) at the Environmental Justice Program of Georgetown University, an interdisciplinary laboratory working with governments, companies and communities (in the global South and North) to build models of the interplay between the economy, natural resources and climate, to reduce financial risks and plan for the ecological transition.


Having a MSc. in Economics (EPOG, Université Paris-Cité) and an interdisciplinary training, my research focuses on dynamic non-linear and out-of-equilibrium economic modeling in collaboration mainly with economist and mathematician Prof. Gaël Giraud sj (Senior Scholar CNRS, ex-Chief Econ of the AFD) with the objective of integrating emergence, complexity and multisectoriality in macroeconomic models, notably for the ecological transition and in dialogue with traditional economic models. 


Another part of my work deals with building damage functions, the epistemology of Neo-liberalism and bounded rationality (especially in development economics), and more broadly with the epistemology of general equilibrium theory and the history of its thought under a critical, peirastic prism. Also in training to become a Lawyer, I am interested in law and public policy, including proposals to cancel public debts on central banks’ balance sheets. 


Last but not least, I am also a musician, in the band Avaland


Fields: Dynamic and non-linear Macroeconomics, Ecological Econ. and Damage Functions, Epistemology, Neo-liberalism, Bounded rationality, History of Econ. Thought, Theology.
