Early life and education

Philippe Aghion was born in Paris in 1956, the son of Gaby and Raymond Aghion.[3][4] He graduated from the mathematics section of the École normale supérieure de Cachan, and obtained a diplôme d'études approfondies (DEA) in mathematical economics from the Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne. He received his PhD in economics from Harvard University in 1987.[5]

Career

His research focuses on economic growth and innovation. With Peter Howitt, he developed the "Schumpeterian paradigm", and extended the paradigm in several directions; much of the resulting work is summarized in his book titled Endogenous Growth Theory, co-authored with Howitt, and more recently in The Power of Creative Destruction. In 2019 he received the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Economics.[6]

He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was elected a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy in 2015. He was president of the European Economic Association in 2017.[7] He has been an editor of the Annual Review of Economics since 2018.[8]

Ahead of the 2012 French presidential election, Aghion co-signed an appeal of several economists in support of candidate François Hollande.[11]

In 2016, Aghion was appointed by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to an expert group advising the High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth, which was co-chaired by presidents François Hollande of France and Jacob Zuma of South Africa.[12] In 2021, he was appointed to the World Bank–International Monetary Fund High-Level Advisory Group (HLAG) on Sustainable and Inclusive Recovery and Growth, co-chaired by Mari Pangestu, Ceyla Pazarbasioglu, and Nicholas Stern.[13]
