Highlights

Full profile

I am a historian of economics and a political economist. I work on the history of economic ideas, economic expertise and economic policies (notably central banks' policies) since the 1970s. Focusing on Stagflation/Inflation.

I am also developing quantitative tools to support my research: scraping, bibliometrics, network analysis, natural language processing, etc. See my projects at https://github.com/agoutsmedt Managing editor at OEconomia (https://journals.openedition.org/oeconomia/).
