معرفی
Marie Obidzinski is a Professor of Economics at the University of Paris Panthéon Assas and a Research Fellow at CRED (Paris Center for Law and Economics). She serves as Member of the Board (treasurer) of the European Association of Law and Economics (EALE) and General Secretary of the French Association of Law and Economics (AFED). Her academic leadership extends to being responsible for the Certificate of Economic Analysis of Law, co-responsible for the double degree course in law and economics and management, and co-responsible for the DU Digital Sciences for Economics and Management (opening September 2025).
Professor Obidzinski's research analyzes the interactions between law and people's decisions, with specialization in the economic analysis of law enforcement policies. Her early work covered European asylum law and geographical distribution of courts, while her current research focuses on digital technologies as both tools and subjects of law. She investigates how AI in banking improves money laundering detection (changing cost structures and false positive risks), how blockchain affects real estate transactions, how online videos serve as evidence in criminal investigations (with associated error and privacy risks), and how AI in medical decisions creates new liability frameworks. Her work bridges traditional law and economics with emerging digital legal challenges.
Her recent publications demonstrate a clear trend toward increasingly digital legal-economic intersections, with 8 of her 15 most recent articles directly addressing AI, blockchain, or digital evidence applications. Her research shows consistent theoretical rigor combined with practical policy relevance, particularly in financial regulation, evidence standards, and institutional design. The articles collectively form a cohesive research program examining how technological innovation challenges traditional legal frameworks and requires new economic analyses of legal efficiency.
Professor Obidzinski actively contributes to the academic community through significant research leadership roles. She is a member of the ANR PRME MonFinTech research project (Coordinator: Mr. Verdier), member of both the Digital Finance and Explainable AI for Anti-Money Laundering chairs, and convenor (with Sarah Jamal) of the research project "The participation of individuals in international law investigations through digital social networks," funded by the Institut des Etudes et de la Recherche sur le Droit et la Justice (2022-2024).
