Philippe Mario Aghion (born August 17, 1956) is a French economist.
Aghion was born in Paris, the son of Gaby and Raymond Aghion.[1][2]
He is Robert C. Waggoner Professor of Economics at Harvard University and an invited professor at the Paris School of Economics, having previously been Professor at University College London, an Official Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford, and an Assistant Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
His main research work is on growth and contract theory. With Peter Howitt, he developed the so-called "Schumpeterian paradigm",[3][4] and extended the paradigm in several directions; much of the resulting work is summarised in his joint book with Howitt entitled Endogenous Growth Theory.[5]
Aghion is a graduate of the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan, Mathematics Section), has a Diplôme d'études approfondies (DEA) in Mathematical Economics from University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne, and a Ph.D. from Harvard University (1987). He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2009 and he is a member of the Executive and Supervisory Committee (ESC) of CERGE-EI.[6]
