Life and work

Galichon was born in Paris. He is a professor at New York University in the Courant Institute, and the director of NYU Paris.[1][5][6] Previously, he had been a full professor at Ecole Polytechnique, and then at Sciences Po, Paris. He is a graduate of Ecole Polytechnique and Corps des Mines, and holds a PhD in Economics from Harvard University.[7]

His work lies within quantitative economics, in particular on the economic applications of optimal transport. He has contributed to the econometrics of matching markets, discrete choice models, martingale optimal transport, and quantile regression.[5][8]

He is a fellow of the Econometric Society[9] and the author of Optimal Transport Methods in Economics.[10]

Research

Galichon is the author of more than forty peer-reviewed articles.[11] His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (2017-2020) and twice by the European Research Council, for a total amount of approximately 3 million Euros.[12][13][14]
