Gauthier Vermandel

Gauthier Vermandel is a full-time researcher at École Polytechnique's Department of Applied Mathematics (CMAP) and holds a tenured Associate Professor position at Université Paris-Dauphine-PSL. He is affiliated with the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and serves as a research fellow for the Stress-test Chair at Polytechnique. Vermandel is also a consultant for the Banque de France on climate change models through the DECAMS directorate and serves as President of DSGE-net, a non-profit organization supporting the Dynare project.

His research interests focus on quantitative macroeconomics, climate change economics, and the development of economic modeling tools. Vermandel specializes in integrating climate considerations into macroeconomic frameworks, particularly through Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models. His work explores social learning expectations, business cycle theory, and the economic impacts of carbon taxation policies. He has made significant contributions to the Dynare platform, extending its capabilities for climate economics and social learning applications.

Vermandel's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the intersection of climate policy and financial markets, with particular attention to how carbon taxation affects economic stability. His research combines theoretical economic modeling with practical applications for policy makers, especially in the context of the European Union's green transition initiatives.

Vermandel serves as program director of the Environmental Macro research group at the Institute for Macroeconomic and International Policies (i-MIP), hosted by PSE and CEPREMAP. He is a member of the Dynare Team working on implementing Dynare into Python/Julia environments and participates in the organization committee of the Quantitative Sustainable Finance (QSEF) seminar at CMAP–CREST. His former role as scientific advisor at France Stratégie (the French Prime Minister's research unit) provided him with direct policy experience that informs his academic work.

Vermandel maintains active research laboratories through his leadership roles in DSGE-net and the Stress-test Chair, where his team develops advanced modeling techniques for assessing climate-related financial risks. His work bridges academic research with practical policy applications, particularly in the context of the European Central Bank's climate stress testing initiatives.
