With its partners, Insee and Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale, the Conseil d'analyse économique has decided to honor the memoryof Philippe Martin by creating an annual prize in his name to reward the best doctoral theses in economics.

To be eligible for the Prix Philippe Martin, the work must make a clear contribution to the development, management or evaluation of public policy. For the 2024 prize, the thesis must have been defended between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024.

The 14,000 euro prize is awarded by a jury of CAE members. It will be awarded in December 2024, on the occasion of the annual public policy evaluation conference organized by the Direction Générale du Trésor. Winners will have the opportunity to propose a Focus project presenting the main contributions of the thesis, which will be published on the CAE website.

How to get involved

Applications must be submitted by the thesis or laboratory directors of the institutions in which the students were registered at the time of their thesis defense. The same thesis or laboratory director may submit several applications.

    • - a chapter of the thesis corresponding to the job market paper (the thesis can be written in French or English);
