Liliana Doganova

Liliana Doganova is an Associate Professor at the Centre for the Sociology of Innovation, Mines ParisTech, PSL University. Her research bridges economic sociology and Science and Technology Studies (STS), focusing on business models, valorization of public research, and markets for bio- and clean-technologies. Her recent work explores valuation methodologies, including discounting techniques and forest valuations, alongside pharmaceutical pricing strategies. She co-directs the Public Affairs and Innovation program at École des Mines de Paris and serves on editorial boards for Valuation Studies and the Journal of Cultural Economy.

Her research interests emphasize how valuation processes shape markets, policies, and environmental governance. Projects like Valuethreads (forestry valuations) and SPIN (drug pricing) highlight her interdisciplinary approach to socio-economic dynamics. Recent publications analyze temporalities of pricing, political technologies of discounting, and conflicts over territorial valuation.

Liliana’s work integrates historical sociology with contemporary policy analysis, addressing issues like drug affordability, environmental resource management, and innovation governance. Her books, including Valoriser la science (2012) and Discounting the Future (2024), underscore her contributions to theorizing valuation practices across scientific, economic, and political domains.
