Philippon holds a PhD in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and degrees in Economics and Physics from French institutions, including École Polytechnique. His research interests include macroeconomics, corporate finance, financial innovation, market power, and total factor productivity. He is the author of the influential book The Great Reversal (Harvard Press, 2019), which examines the rise of market concentration in the U.S.
His recent work, particularly the 2022 paper “Additive Growth,” challenges long-standing assumptions in economics by showing that total factor productivity grows linearly rather than exponentially. This insight has major implications for how we interpret innovation and long-term economic growth. His publications span top journals such as the American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Journal of Finance, and Review of Financial Studies.
Philippon has received numerous honors, including:
- IMF Top 25 Economists Under 45 (2014)
- Bernácer Prize (2013)
- Brattle Prize (2008)
- MIT Robert M. Solow Prize (2003)
He has served in high-level advisory roles for the Financial Stability Board, Hong Kong Institute for Monetary and Financial Research, the New York Federal Reserve, the French prudential regulatory authority (2014–2019), and as Senior Economic Advisor to the French Finance Minister (2012–2013). He is actively involved in policy debates on financial regulation, productivity, and market competition.
Though no formal list of students is available, he advises PhD candidates and contributes to academic training at NYU Stern. He leads research initiatives on economic growth, financial markets, and public policy, often collaborating with institutions and policymakers globally.
