Jacques Mairesse (born August 16, 1940) is a French economist. He is the posthumous son of Jacques Mairesse (1905–1940), an international French association footballer.

Biography

Mairesse was director of studies of EHESS (École des hautes études en sciences sociales) from 1978 onwards. He was director of ENSAE (École nationale de la statistique et de l'administration économique) from 1980 to 1990. He was general inspector of INSEE (Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques) from 1988 to 2005. He is a founding member of the Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST), the research centre of INSEE, that was created in 1990. He is a senior researcher of the microeconometric laboratory at CREST and at GRECSTA (Groupe de Recherche en Economie et Statistique). He is a research associate of the NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) since 1980. He is professor of applied econometrics of research, innovation and productivity at Maastricht University and professorial fellow of UNU-MERIT since 2005. He is a fellow of the European Economic Association.[1]

Research

Influenced by the pioneering work of Zvi Griliches – with whom he coauthored several papers – on the economics of technological change, economic data issues, errors in variables and panel data, his research has been mainly in the field of production economics and panel data econometrics, focusing on measurement of capital, productivity and technical change issues. Throughout his life, he has been engaged in various comparative studies, using firm micro data for France and the U.S. and other countries, in particular to analyze research and development (R&D) activities and their effects on productivity. His main current topics of interest are in the economics of science, innovation and knowledge, with specific emphasis on performance evaluation at various levels of analysis, and on interactions linking individual with collective performance as well as contextual and institutional components.
