Professor Laurence Jacquet is a distinguished economist at University of Cergy-Pontoise, where he leads research at THEMA (Théorie Economique, Modélisation et Applications). He maintains a prominent international profile as a Distinguished CESifo Affiliate and CESifo Research Network Fellow, contributing to Munich-based research initiatives in public economics. His research program centers on optimal taxation theory with specialized focus on multidimensional heterogeneity, labor market responses, and production regulation. Professor Jacquet investigates how tax systems interact with behavioral elasticities across income types, addressing fundamental questions about redistribution efficiency and policy design in contexts of rising inequality and demographic change. His methodological approach combines advanced mechanism design with practical fiscal policy applications. Analysis of his 12 CESifo Working Papers (2010-2025) reveals evolving research trajectories: early work established foundations in optimal income taxation with heterogeneous agents, while recent publications increasingly incorporate production-side considerations and regulatory frameworks. The consistent thread across his publication history is rigorous theoretical modeling of tax systems that account for both extensive and intensive margin responses in labor and capital markets. Professor Jacquet actively supervises graduate researchers through THEMA, a CNRS-affiliated research center fostering interdisciplinary economic modeling. His CESifo affiliation provides students with exceptional access to European policy networks and collaborative opportunities with leading public finance scholars across the continent.
