معرفی
Patrick Pintus is a Professor of Macroeconomics at Aix-Marseille University, affiliated with the Faculty of Economics and Management (FEG) and the CNRS's INSHS institute. His research focuses on macroeconomic policy, public economy, and crisis management, with recent work addressing pandemic response strategies during the COVID-19 crisis. He holds a PhD from the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (1997).
Research Interests:
- Macroeconomic policy design and transmission mechanisms
- Public finance and fiscal redistribution effects
- Behavioral responses to rare/ extreme events (e.g., black swan avoidance in decision-making)
- Real-time epidemiological modeling for pandemic management
- Crisis economics and healthcare system stress testing
His most notable recent contributions include developing novel frameworks for tracking viral transmission dynamics using test-adjusted reproduction numbers, and analyzing behavioral economics experiments on how animals (rats) process extreme risk scenarios. These methodologies have been applied to French demographic groups and regional lockdown policy assessments.
Grants & Collaborations: His work integrates interdisciplinary approaches combining computational models with real-world public policy evaluation. Current projects involve cross-disciplinary teams from economics, epidemiology, and computational social science.
He maintains a research lab at AMSE (Aix-Marseille School of Economics) focused on macroeconomic policy analysis and crisis modeling.
