BACKGROUND
Alain PIROTTE joined the University Paris II Panthéon-Assas as Full Professor in Economics in September 2004. His teaching includes mainly econometrics at undergraduate and postgraduate level (panel data and time series) and public policy evaluation methods at postgraduate level. He was Assistant Professor at the University of Lyon II from 1996 to 2002. Then, he became a Full Professor at the University of Valenciennes from 2002 to 2004. He was also Research Fellow at IFSTTAR (French Institute of Science and Technology for Transport, Development and Networks) from 2008 to 2017. He is a member of the National Universities Council, section 05: Economics (since December 2015), Member of the Doctoral School Economics, Management, Information and Communication (ED 455), University Paris II Panthéon-Assas (since January 2015), Director of the Faculty of Economic Science and Management, University Paris II Panthéon-Assas (June 2017 to June 2022), Director of the Undergraduate and Research College « Discovery and Fundamentals », University Paris-Panthéon-Assas (since April 2023) and Director of Master 1, « Business and Market Economics » (since 2010).
