Lucie Lebeau serves as an Assistant Professor of Economics at Wellesley College, where she teaches ECON 202: Intermediate Macroeconomic Analysis. Prior to this role, she held a position as Senior Research Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, conducting academic research and policy analysis.
Her academic credentials include:
- B.A. in Social Sciences from Sciences Po Paris
- M.A. in Economics and Public Policy from Sciences Po Paris
- M.A. in Economics from the University of California, Irvine
- Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California, Irvine
Lebeau specializes in macroeconomic modeling of frictional markets, investigating how money, credit, and negotiation mechanisms shape trade dynamics and policy transmission. Her research examines three core themes: price formation in negotiated markets, liquidity constraints on trade efficiency, and alternative financial systems like community currencies. Notable work includes experimental analysis of liquidity's impact on bargaining power and ethnographic study of coca-based currency in Colombian villages. She integrates theoretical frameworks with real-world data and policy simulations in her teaching to develop students' critical evaluation skills.
While the source material does not specify current advisees or grant funding, her research profile suggests active mentorship in macroeconomic theory and applied policy analysis. Her work bridges micro-founded modeling with practical economic policy challenges, particularly in monetary systems and market frictions.
