Fabien Labondance

Fabien Labondance serves as Professor at the University of Franche-Comté's Faculty of Law, Economics and Management and leads Research Axis 3 (Finance, banking and macroeconomics) at CRESE. He additionally contributes as Scientific Committee member for OFCE's Workshop on Empirical Monetary Economics, positioning him at the intersection of academic research and European policy analysis.

His research centers on Macroeconomics and Monetary Policy with specialized expertise in ECB operations, banking stability, and European economic integration. Key investigations include monetary policy transmission during unconventional regimes, asset price bubble dynamics, banking fragility indicators, and agricultural policy impacts within the EU framework—consistently employing empirical methodologies to derive policy-relevant insights.

Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal evolving focus toward asymmetric policy effects, banking crisis prediction in the European Union, and agricultural income analysis. This trajectory demonstrates increasing policy urgency in financial stability research while maintaining methodological continuity through CRESE's institutional framework and OFCE collaborations.

As head of CRESE's dedicated research axis, Professor Labondance cultivates a collaborative environment for studying monetary-fiscal interactions in European contexts. The axis provides structured opportunities for researchers to engage with ECB policy documentation, European banking datasets, and cross-institutional networks—fostering next-generation expertise in European macroeconomic governance.
