Research Labs & Library

The AI Lab brings together CES researchers who wish to explore innovative methodologies for the humanities and social sciences derived from artificial intelligence, as well as the ethical and social implications of AI. It draws on the unique expertise of CES researchers who have developed skills in AI and modeling tools to better understand socio-economic behaviors and inform public policy. Supported by the University of Paris 1 and hosted at CES, the AI Lab aims to provide a unique research environment fostering interactions between scholars working with AI and on AI, to support research initiatives in these areas, and to offer technical assistance to researchers affiliated with the AI Lab.

The Parisian Experimental Economics Laboratory is an experimental platform at the CES with two rooms: one equipped with 20 computer workstations, the other with four booths for two users each, featuring eye-tracking, audio, and biophysical measurement equipment (electrodermal activity, heart rate, respiration, electromyography, temperature, EEG). Created in partnership with the Paris School of Economics, the LEEP offers state-of-the-art facilities for experimental research. It provides members with support for experiment programming, on-site implementation (participant reception, compensation, etc.), and manages a large participant database under CES data protection policies.

The CESDoc is a reference library in the fields of economics and applied mathematics. It is particularly renowned for its printed resources across several disciplines, especially its heritage collections in the history of economic thought, which include works from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, as well as materials from the former Paris Statistics Room. Since 2018, its collections and research support services have been recognized with the CollEx (Collections of Excellence) label. Within the unit, the CESDoc provides guidance on open science — including HAL, GDPR compliance, and registration in the data processing registry — and plays a crucial role in the CES’s emerging policy for research data management and valorization.
