Camille Landais

Camille Landais is a Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), serving as Director of the Suntory and Toyota International Centers for Economics and Related Disciplines (STICERD) and Co-Director of the Hub For Equal Representation in the Economy (HER). He is also a Member of the French Council of Economic Advisers (CAE), contributing to national economic policy formulation.

His research spans public economics, labor economics, and gender economics, with concentrated expertise in taxation systems, child penalties in employment, gender equality policies, education efficiency, and pension reforms. Landais investigates how fiscal policies affect high-net-worth individuals' migration, quantifies cross-country variations in gender disparities after childbirth, and evaluates resource allocation in educational systems.

Landais' publication portfolio reveals a strong policy-oriented focus, with recurring themes in wealth taxation impacts, gender-economy linkages, and public spending optimization. His collaborative works with leading economists like Henrik Kleven demonstrate methodological rigor through empirical cross-country analyses and theoretical modeling, directly informing CAE policy briefs on critical issues from tax exile to childcare infrastructure.

Through STICERD and HER leadership, Landais drives interdisciplinary research on economic representation and equality. His active recruitment of pre-doctoral research assistants indicates ongoing large-scale projects, particularly in gender economics and tax policy evaluation, maintaining his position at the forefront of evidence-based economic policy design.
