André de Palma

André de Palma is a Professor at CY Cergy Paris University and holds the CY Initiative Senior Chair in Economics. He is actively involved in advanced academic discourse, particularly in economic theory and its intersections with psychology and neuroscience.

His research interests lie at the intersection of economics and human cognition. He explores how traditional economic models adapt to real-world data through econometric methods and how theories evolve under challenges from behavioral economics, bounded rationality, and perceptual errors. His work draws from behavioral psychology and neuroscience, indicating a deep engagement with interdisciplinary approaches to understanding decision-making.

André de Palma's academic contributions are reflected in his public lectures and theoretical inquiries, such as his presentation on Psychonometros, which critically examines the evolution of economic thought and its methodological foundations. His work traces intellectual trajectories from classical economics to modern behavioral and cognitive sciences, engaging with figures like Kenneth Arrow and John Maynard Keynes.

He has delivered guest lectures under the CY Advanced Studies program, including an English-language e-lecture published on the CY AS YouTube channel, demonstrating his commitment to disseminating complex economic ideas to broader academic audiences.
