Loris ANDRÉ

I am currently an engineer in the Corps des Ponts, des Eaux et des Forêts and serve as Deputy Head of the Household Taxation Unit at the French Treasury. I completed my PhD in 2025 at Paris School of Economics, Collège de France, and École nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, under the supervision of Prof. Katheline Schubert and Prof. Philippe Aghion. My dissertation, Essays on the Economics of Biodiversity, develops new approaches to integrating biodiversity into macroeconomic analysis.

My research focuses on how ecological dynamics, particularly those related to biodiversity, can be better incorporated into economic frameworks. I combine theoretical and empirical approaches within an interdisciplinary perspective, with a particular emphasis on the Amazon rainforest.

During my PhD, I was a visiting researcher at London School of Economics, where I collaborated with with Prof. Ben Groom and Prof. Frank Venmans.

Prior to and alongside my academic work, I gained experience in several public economic institutions. I worked at the French Treasury, at the Inspection générale des finances on public policy issues, and served as a research assistant at Banque de France, where I worked on modeling disruptions in global value chains in the context of the ecological transition.
