Aurélien Goutsmedt is a historian of economic thought. His work focuses primarily on the history of macroeconomics and economic policies since World War II, with particular attention to the stagflation of the 1970s and the transformation of central banks’ roles. He is also interested in the history of economic expertise and the development of macroeconomic models within institutions such as the European Central Bank and the OECD. Through an approach that combines intellectual history, the sociology of economics, and public policy analysis, he sheds light on the dynamics that have shaped contemporary economic doctrines and practices.
