Stéphane Auray

Stéphane Auray serves as Full Professor of Economics at the French National School for Statistics and Information Analysis (Ensai) and holds Permanent Member status at the Centre de Recherche en Economie et Statistique (CREST). He maintains dual affiliations with CREST as Research Associate and the Institut des Politiques Publiques (IPP), while currently on leave from Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale (ULCO).

His academic foundation includes a PhD in Economics from Toulouse School of Economics (2003). Research expertise spans:

• Macroeconomic modeling and dynamics
• International trade policy analysis
• Labor market structural transformations
• Conflict economics and war-related economic phenomena
• Operations research applications in economic systems

As a CREST Permanent Member, Auray contributes to France's premier economics research consortium, with work frequently intersecting public policy through IPP channels. His September 2025 seminar on trade agreements demonstrates active engagement in contemporary economic discourse, particularly regarding how historical economic patterns inform modern commercial negotiations. Current research examines inequality drivers through markup analysis, tax policy, and asset price fluctuations as evidenced by August 2025 publications.

Auray participates in CREST's academic ecosystem through seminar leadership and PhD student mentorship within the institution's doctoral programs, though specific advisees aren't documented in available materials. His laboratory work centers on CREST's interdisciplinary research infrastructure, leveraging connections to INSEE and policy institutions for empirical economic analysis.
