Adrien Auclert

Adrien Auclert is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Stanford University. He holds prestigious research affiliations including Research Fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR), Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), and member of the French Council of Economic Analysis.

His research centers on inequality, macroeconomics, and international economics with a focus on heterogeneous-agent models (HANK). He develops computational tools like the Sequence-Space Jacobian to analyze fiscal/monetary policy, debt relief, and global imbalances. His work bridges theoretical macroeconomics with urgent policy questions, particularly examining how distributional heterogeneity shapes aggregate economic dynamics.

Recent publications reveal a dominant trend in studying household-level heterogeneity's role in macroeconomic transmission mechanisms. Auclert demonstrates how fiscal stimulus, monetary policy, and trade shocks propagate asymmetrically through income/wealth distributions, with significant implications for inequality dynamics and policy design in open economies.

His scientific honors include:

• Research Fellow, Centre for Economic Policy Research
• Senior Fellow, Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research
• Research Associate, National Bureau of Economic Research
• Member, French Council of Economic Analysis

Auclert actively engages in policy formulation through the French Council of Economic Analysis, co-authoring influential notes on fiscal consolidation and monetary policy. He is co-organizing the upcoming SITE workshop "Macroeconomics in the Sequence Space" at Stanford (September 8-10, 2025), advancing methodological frontiers in heterogeneous-agent modeling.
