From 1974 to 1979 Chiappori was a student at the École normal supérieure , where he made his aggrégation in mathematics with “ probability ” as an elective in 1977 . At the same time he was a student at the University of Paris VII , from which he received a Masters in Mathematics in 1975.

Professional background

From 1980 to 1984 Chiappori was Assistant Professor at the University of Paris I before becoming Maître des conférences at EHESS in 1985 . He then moved to the École polytechnique (1989–1997) as Maître des conférences in 1989, while at the same time he worked as a research officer at the CNRS , which promoted him to research director in 1991. In 1992 he accepted a position as professor of economics at ENSAE .

Following a personal recommendation by Gary Becker , the University of Chicago recruited Chiappori from the Ecole Polytechnique in 1997 and gave him a professorship in economics. After a visiting professorship at Columbia University in 2004/05, Chiappori finally accepted a call to this university and in 2005 took over the E. Rowan and Barbara Steinschneider Professorship for Economics.

Chiappori is also the editor of the Journal of the European Economic Association , the Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance Theory , the Review of Economics of the Household, and Foundations and Trends in Economic Theory . Chiappori was previously editor of the Journal of Political Economy (2001–2005), Economic Policy (1988–1990), Richerche Economiche (1990–1996) and the European Economic Review (1988–1996).

In addition, Chiappori is a member of the research council of the Becker-Friedman Institute for Research in Economics and a council member of the European Economic Association . In 2020 Chiappori was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .

research

According to the economic publications database IDEAS , Chiappori is one of the 1% of the most research-intensive economists (rank 205) in the overall ranking. In terms of criteria such as “number of papers” or “number of citations”, Chiappori is clearly one of the top 5% of the economists recorded in the database. The most cited article by Chiapporis is entitled " Rational Household Labor Supply " (1988). In this article, Chiappori examines the job supply of households. To do this, he models households as a two-person collective that makes Pareto-efficient decisions. The consequences of this assumption are examined in a three-goods model in which total consumption and the labor supply of each household member can be observed. If the agents are assumed to be selfish, refutable conditions for the household's job supply can be derived from both a parametric and a non-parametric perspective. On the other hand, if the agents are assumed to be altruistic, constraints remain in the nonparametric context; a useful interpretation results from the comparison with the characterization of aggregated demand for a private economy.
