Camille Landais is a prominent French economist currently serving as Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics. Born February 1, 1981, he has established himself as a leading scholar in public finance and labor economics through influential research on taxation, social insurance, gender inequality, and migration. His academic journey began at École normale supérieure d'Ulm, continued with a PhD at Paris School of Economics under Thomas Piketty, and included postdoctoral work at Stanford before joining LSE in 2012. Professor Landais directs the Suntory and Toyota International Centers for Economics and Related Disciplines (STICERD) and co-directs the Hub For Equal Representation in the Economy (HER). He is also a Member of the French Council of Economic Advisers and directs the public economics programme at the Centre for Economic Policy Research. His research spans multiple areas including taxation policy, labor market dynamics, gender inequality, and social insurance design. His recent work has focused on child penalties across countries, wealth taxation, and pandemic economic responses. The Child Penalty Atlas project represents a major contribution to understanding gender inequality in labor markets globally. His research combines rigorous theoretical frameworks with innovative empirical approaches using large administrative datasets. Notable achievements include receiving the Prize of Best Young Economist of France in 2016. His publications appear regularly in top economics journals, with significant influence on both academic discourse and policy debates. Prize of Best Young Economist of France (2016) Fellow of the European Economic Association Editorial roles at Journal of Public Economics, Review of Economic Studies, Fiscal Studies, and Economic Policy Professor Landais maintains active collaborations across institutions and countries, contributing to the global economics research community while advising policymakers through his role at the French Council of Economic Advisers. His work on taxation and migration, unemployment insurance design, and gender inequality continues to shape contemporary economic policy discussions.
