Who we are

The Cercle des économistes is a think tank founded in 1992 on the initiative of Jean-Hervé Lorenzi which brings together thirty economists with both academic responsabilities. The Cercle aims at creating an economic debate open to all.  Its members are renowed experts with varied fields of interest and disctinct approaches, allowing the Cercle to cover most of the major topics in Economics and ensuring the depth and breadth of the debate. Several annual events are organised by the association including Les Rencontres Économiques d’Aix-en-Provence.
