It is with deep sadness that FAERE learned of the passing of Roger Guesnerie, a leading figure in economics and an intellectual of rare rigor.
FAERE would like to pay special tribute to his early commitment to our cause: Roger Guesnerie was one of the very first honorary members of FAERE when it was founded in 2013, lending his support and providing essential scientific legitimacy to our collective project.
A leading economist, he also made a decisive contribution to environmental and climate economics, advocating for the rigorous integration of environmental issues into economic analysis and public policy. In particular, he edited the collective work The Design of Climate Policy (2008, with Henry Tulkens). The lectures he gave at the Collège de France, collected in L’économie du changement climatique (The Economics of Climate Change), are also a major reference work.
Through his work, his intellectual rigour and his sense of public responsibility, he will continue to be a lasting inspiration to the FAERE community.
Our deepest sympathies go out to his family, loved ones and colleagues.
Serge Garcia, President of FAERE
