What lessons can we learn from this edition and what themes did this edition suggest we explore further?
First, we note that economists are increasingly present on subjects that do not seem to fall specifically within their discipline. Round tables such as: " Secularism: help or hindrance to integration? ", " How to elect our local representatives? " are an illustration of this. This openness, very favorable to exchanges between the different social sciences, is facilitated by access to a growing quantity of data in the most diverse fields and by the progress made in the processing of this data. We will extend this exploration by examining, for example, the contribution of matching models which lead us to ask whether we are moving towards a matching society.
Secondly, topics singapore phone number list directly related to the daily lives of citizens occupy an increasing place in the program. We see themes such as mobility , health (for example the subject of antibiotic resistance ), well-being in the territory leading to a view that starts from local situations to open onto a broader analysis. We can extend these reflections with topics on the quality of food or on strategies to avoid medical deserts.
Finally, current events lead to deeper reflections on essential subjects such as the challenges of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, reindustrialization strategies, questions about the future of European integration, and the management of the environmental transition. Geopolitical tensions encourage us to question the slide towards a war economy. Let us add that the situation in France raises questions on many points such as the deterioration of educational standards, the deficit in public finances, and the stagnation of productivity.
Finally, it should be noted that the growing financial tensions risk taking us back to a climate that could remind us of the situation in 2008, but with profound differences that we will have to correctly identify if we want to avoid a new crisis.
