Jerome POUYET

Jerome Pouyet is a permanent Researcher at France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), affiliated with the Department of Economics at CY Cergy Paris University since 2017. Based at the Cergy campus, he conducts theoretical research at the intersection of industrial organization and public policy, focusing on strategic interactions in regulated network industries. His CNRS position provides dedicated research time while maintaining strong university ties for collaborative work and doctoral supervision.

His academic foundation:

• PhD in Economics, University of Toulouse, France (2009)

Dr. Pouyet's research centers on Industrial Organization and Contract Theory, specifically analyzing how public authorities influence private investment through regulatory mechanisms. His work tackles information asymmetry in public-private interactions, examining when threats of public intervention enhance welfare versus distorting investment incentives. A recurring theme is modeling endogenous threats in contracting scenarios, with applications to telecommunications, utilities, and infrastructure policy where duplication risks create complex strategic dynamics.

His publication pattern (2010-2018) reveals deepening sophistication in modeling public-private coordination challenges. Early work addressed fundamental competition issues in network industries (2010), evolving into nuanced analyses of threat credibility in bargaining (2017) and optimal public intervention designs (2018). This trajectory demonstrates consistent contribution to theoretical industrial organization, with publications spanning specialized network economics journals to broad-scope outlets like RAND Journal of Economics.

Dr. Pouyet actively participates in academic governance, having served on an HDR jury in 2012—a significant role in France's doctoral system. As a CNRS researcher, he benefits from stable institutional funding while collaborating closely with university faculty. His primary partnership with Bruno Jullien and Wilfried Sand-Zantman has produced influential work on regulatory design, indicating a productive research network focused on solving complex coordination problems in regulated markets.
