PhD in economics: cohesion and multidisciplinarity
At the end of the year, the doctoral students in CREST’s economics cluster organized a series of seminars for first-year doctoral students.
Cohesion & multidisciplinarity
Cohesion between doctoral students is essential. It fosters collaboration, the exchange of ideas and mutual support, creating an environment conducive to learning. Peer solidarity allows to share experiences, solve problems in groups and develop crucial skills. By fostering a team spirit, the cohesion between doctoral students contributes to their personal development and success in their doctoral studies.
These seminars provide another opportunity for first-year doctoral students to present their research. They highlight the theme of their research, as well as the specific questions they are tackling, and the methodology envisaged throughout their doctorate.
CREST doctoral students and researchers are invited to take in these seminars, where their experience in presenting their research enables young doctoral students to practice presenting their project clearly and concisely to people outside the field, thus providing a fresh and stimulating perspective.
The sessions also facilitate the establishment of links with researchers working in similar fields, giving PhD students the opportunity to obtain advice based on the experience of these researchers.
By emphasizing multidisciplinary within the same cluster, these seminars encourage doctoral students to benefit from reflections from the literature and approaches from other fields of research within CREST. This approach stimulates multidisciplinary reflection, enriching the research work of each student.

CREST Conference on Risk & Insurance, 14-15 september 2023
The objective of the conference is to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars to present and exchange their research results on economic and financial decisions under risk, insurance markets and related public policies. It will be also a tribute to Professor Pierre Picard, an outstanding researcher of the field, who is Emeritus Professor at École polytechnique since September 2021.
This conference is organized as a workshop, based on plenary sessions held at ENSAE (Sep. 14) and Maison internationale (Cité internationale de Paris, Sep. 15), each presentation (12 in total) being made by a leading scientist. Presentations will represent the diversity of research on economic and financial decisions under risk, insurance markets and related public policies. All presentations will be made by invited speakers.
Date: September 14 and 15, 2023.

CREST, a multidisciplinary laboratory
On June 19, 2023, CREST organized a day dedicated to doctoral students was held.
At this event, doctoral students from the 4 research divisions (economics, sociology, finance-insurance and statistics) were able to exchange ideas with their colleagues and present their areas of research.
Multidisciplinarity…
CREST favors an interdisciplinary approach to tackling complex issues. This synergy between different areas of expertise enriches research and provides innovative perspectives in a variety of fields such as the sociology of work, public economics, green finance, political economy, statistical analysis of networks and many others.
Thanks to this multidisciplinary approach, the CREST laboratory fosters fruitful collaborations between researchers from different backgrounds, encouraging the emergence of innovative solutions to contemporary societal challenges.
Fields of research by division
… At all levels
CREST maintains a wide range of academic and industrial partnerships beyond its core themes. These enriching interdisciplinary collaborations help to provide innovative solutions and tackle complex challenges in a wide range of sectors. CREST works with financial institutions (Caisse des dépôts et consignation, La Banque Postale Asset Management, HSBC AM) and public institutions (Ile de France region) to examine the determinants and impacts of integrating environmental, social and governance issues into investment decisions or to assess their climate and sustainable finance action plans (City of Paris, Ile de France region).
These interdisciplinary partnerships demonstrate CREST’s commitment to tackling contemporary challenges by mobilizing a wide range of knowledge and expertise.
Doctoral studies at CREST
Working in the CREST laboratory, doctoral students benefit from a stimulating environment, conducive to the exchange ideas and collaboration with researchers from a variety of backgrounds. This diversity of approaches fosters the acquisition of cross-disciplinary skills and enables doctoral students to develop a holistic vision of their field of study, strengthening their ability to conduct innovative research and meet the challenges of tomorrow.
