About me

Welcome to my personal page, my name is Jamel Saadaoui. I am a teacher and researcher in social sciences, specialized in several topics related to international economics. On this page, I present my current and future research projects and I try to provide some information for the public and for my students. I sometimes write on Probability, Philosophy, Economics, and other topics with a macro perspective. My recent works explore the interactions between geopolitical tensions and the economy.

Since 2024, I am a Full Professor of Economics at the Université Paris VIII Vincennes-Saint-Denis, and I am affiliated to the LED laboratory for my research activities. Furthermore, I teach at the Institut d’Études Européennes. I am also an external consultant for the Asian Development Bank and a research fellow of the Economic Research Forum. Besides, I was an elected member of the National Council of Universities between 2016 and 2024. You can reach me at my professional address. You can find more information on my professional CV.
