EDHEC welcomes Edward Prescott, Nobel laureate, to its international conference on labor markets in Paris

The annual ADRES conference co-organised by EDHEC Business School and the Université du Maine took place last month at the Maison de la Chimie in Paris. This event, which aimed to underline the differences between the job markets in Europe and the United States, saw over 160 attendees from Europe, Africa and the US come to discover the latest scientific research in the area.

Among the participants who came to present their research were Olivier Blanchard from MIT, Edward Prescott, Nobel laureate 2004 and Richard Rogerson, co-editor of the American Economic Review, from the University of Arizona and Robert Shimer, editor of the Journal of Political Economy, from the University of Chicago. Antoine Magnier, director of DARES, and Selma Mahfouz of the DGTPE presented the current French job market situation and its recent development following government reforms and conducted a round-table debate with researchers.
