Launched in 2023 with EMPN’s support, the Institut Avant-Garde (IAG) has quickly established itself as a respected voice in France’s macroeconomic debates, working on fiscal policy, climate debt, and industrial policy.
It brings a multidisciplinary approach, combining heterodox economic thinking with high-level policy influence in Paris. The Institute frequently publishes in leading outlets such as Le Monde, Les Echos, and Alternatives Economiques. Finally, they have built a scientific council of leading French academics.
