Jérôme Sgard is a Full Professor at Sciences Po Paris, affiliated with the Center for International Studies (CERI). His academic career spans several prestigious institutions, bringing expertise in economic history, political economy, and international relations to his current position.
Professor Sgard's research interests include:
- History of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)

Professor Sgard's most recent work, 'The Debt Crisis of the 1980s, Law and Political Economy' (2023), represents a significant contribution to the field. This multidisciplinary study draws on interviews with major figures who managed the debt crisis and extensive archival research from international financial institutions.
