Paul Hadji-Lazaro is a macroeconomist specializing in environmental issues within AFD’s Macroeconomic Modelling Unit.
Overview
With a PhD in economics, Paul Hadji-Lazaro joined AFD to study the macroeconomic risks related to the loss of biodiversity in South Africa. He applies and develops the methodological tools that he elaborated during a previous study conducted in partnership with the Banque de France.
Today, while continuing its collaborations on several research projects on the interrelations between economic stability and biodiversity (especially in Africa), he is leading the development of a GEMMES macroeconomic model applied to South Africa, aimed at analysing the macro-financial implications of changes in energy, water and agricultural systems.
