Publications for the Opinions et Débats series will be an original article of about thirty pages, authored by at least one individual from the academic institutions of the FCD LABEX, written in English or French. It will include a summary of recent work on the topic addressed and will serve  to provide recommendations for economic or financial policy. Consequently the article submitted must be distinct from a survey or a research paper.

The article should address two types of readership:

• Specialists for whom it may serve as a technology look-out.
• A wider audience initially wanting to understand the arguments and recommendations.

To facilitate this dual level of reading, it is recommended that the arguments and recommendations be placed in boxes in the text.

The text should include illustrations (figures, diagrams, etc.) together with a few lines of explanation and interpretation.

All requests for publication must include the following elements:

• Project title
• Half-page summary on the issues addressed
• Bibliography of the author
• A literature review of the project
• Examples of recommendations
• List of experts collaborating on the project
• Date on which a final version of the project will be transmitted

A sum of €10,000 euros is available for the implementation of this editorial project.

Applications are issued on:

Principal: Call on December 4, 2023 for submission on February 2, 2024
