Xavier Jaravel, 31, is an Associate Professor at the London School of Economics, currently on secondment to the French Inspectorate General of Finance, and a member of the Council for Economic Analysis. His work focuses primarily on innovation dynamics, their drivers, and their microeconomic and macroeconomic effects. He conducts quasi-experimental analyses using highly detailed databases, revealing the differential impact of innovations on the relative prices of goods, and thus on inequality. He has also addressed the distortions induced by the US-China trade war on consumers. |
