democratically, and gives its opinion on all questions relating to scientific policy, the management of resources, and the organisation and functioning of the Centre.

The research carried out at PSE-UMR8545 covers almost all aspects of modern Economic Science and contempo-rary economic problems. Research at PSE is based on the methodological approach of theoretical modelling and empirical validation.

Research is split up into six different domains:- Economic Theory;- Macroeconomics;

- Public Economics, Labour Economics and Inequality;- Markets, Risks and Organisations;- Development Economics, Economic Geography and

International Integration;- Economic History.

These research domains overlap to a certain extent, and are not fixed over time, responding to the emergence of new fields of inquiry in Economics.

PSE-UMR8545 has five governing bodies: - The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique

(CNRS);- The École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales

(EHESS);- The École des Ponts ParisTech;- The École Normale Supérieure (ENS);- And the Institut National de la Recherche Agrono-

mique (INRA).

PSE-UMR8545 is closely integrated into the École d’Éco-nomie de Paris - Paris School of Economics (EEP-PSE). This latter is a Scientific Research Foundation, created on the 21st of December 2006 in the context of the «loi de programme pour la recherche» of the same year. The EEP is a «Réseau thématique de recherche avancée» (RTRA), or Advanced Thematic Research Network, consisting of PSE-UMR8545 and a part of the Centre d’Économie de la Sorbonne (CES-UMR8174) of the Uni-versity of Paris 1 with its ETE postgraduate programme.

The PhD Thesis

The APE Doctoral Programme lasts in principle for three years. The programme consists essentially in the writing of a PhD thesis, supervised by a member of PSE-UMR8545.The thesis may be presented under one of two different types of formats:

- Format 1: a monograph (the treatment of a subject in a global and exhaustive manner) or;

- Format 2: an introduction, at least three research papers and a conclusion; the research articles may be independent of each other, dealing with one or a number of different research areas in theoretical, empirical or historical economics.

In the APE Doctoral Programme, PhD theses are most often prepared in English under Format 2. However, the PhD regulations require that the thesis contain an extended summary (around 30 pages) in French.

University Registration

The APE Doctoral Programme is responsible to the EHESS. Certain PhD students are responsible to their original research establishment, such as the École des Ponts ParisTech, are not registered at the EHESS.

First registrationAs soon as your academic registration as a PhD student

at the EHESS is accepted, you will receive a university registration dossier through the post. This registration dossier is to be dropped off at the EHESS, where you will pay the fees regarding tuition, student social security coverage, and preventive medicine. You are required to submit your thesis topic on line to the Central Thesis Registry («fichier central des theses»: FCT).

Second and Third YearYour dossier is automatically submitted if your PhD Supervisor has authorised you to carry on with your PhD work after your appraisal with your thesis committee. Registration is compulsory.You do not have to resubmit your thesis subject (except if this latter has changed). You only have to complete your registration dossier and pay your tuition fees.

Supervision and Support of Your PhD project

PhD supervision is overseen by your PhD supervisor, whose role is to:

- Follow you in the organisation and accomplishment of your PhD project;

- Discuss and confirm deadlines, a work plan, results and new research directions with you;

- Make bibliographic, scientific and methodological re-commendations;

- Oversee the relationship with the PhD partners, if there are any, even if part of this relationship manage-ment is delegated to the student;

- Make sure that you are integrated into a research do-main, that you progressively acquire autonomy in your work, and that you respect your obligations;

- Help you set out your career plan by discussing your thesis committee and your job market submissions; and to put you in contact with professional colleagues.

Your PhD supervisor has to belong to PSE-UMR8545.

The progress of your PhD thesis is monitored by your thesis committee (« comité de thèse»). This committee consists of your supervisor and two other researchers, of whom at least one must belong to PSE-UMR8545. The names of these latter two researchers should be indi-cated to Marie-Christine PAOLETTI.

The role of the thesis committee is to:- Ensure that you have fulfilled all of your obligations

with respect to Masters courses, Advanced PhD Conferences, seminars and working groups;

- Follow your research work;- Encourage the integration of your research work into

a professional and scientific landscape that is wider than that the host institution;

- Reinforce the accompanying role of senior resear-chers during your PhD.

The thesis committee meets once a year in September. During this meeting you will describe the progress that you have made in your research and your future research plans. Following this appraisal meeting, you will prepare a summary report which describes the various points, criticisms and recommendations that were brought up during the meeting. This summary report is to be ratified by your thesis com-

mittee, and then sent to Marie-Christine PAOLETTI. The members of the thesis committee can participate in the pre-defence jury (see p. 12) and the job market unit (see below).

The PhD Training Council (see p. 4) also plays a role in supervising your PhD progress in conjunction with your thesis committee (see above).

The job market unit is an institution which helps new PhDs find jobs.

Starting from the 2nd year of your thesis, if you wish to follow an academic career, you can avail yourself of this unit by contacting Christophe CHAMLEY.

The job market unit will help you to:- Find, amongst others, a job as an Assistant Professor

abroad and/or a Post-doctoral position;- Set out a strategy to find a job on the French labour

market, whether academic or not (qualification for a job as a Maître de Conférences, Bank of France, OECD, jobs in the French Administration, etc.).

The job market unit consists of:- Christophe CHAMLEY, Director of the job market unit;- Raphaël GODEFFROY; - Luc ARRONDEL.

The job market unit:- Targets organisations to which you can submit your

recruitment dossier;- Organises mock interviews for the job market;- Helps you to present your work in a job-market format;- Helps you to revise and put into correct English your

job market paper;- Helps you to prepare your dossier: CV, letter of moti-

vation, recommendation letters (thesis supervisor, Christophe Chamley, and others), job market paper and others, and a summary report on your research (if necessary).

For the English correction of your work, contact Akiko SUWA-EISENMANN.For the administrative aspects of your job market submis-sions, see Marie-Christine PAOLETTI.At the beginning of January each year, two international conferences are organised, in the US in January and in Europe in November.

The Thesis Pre-defence

The pre-defence is organised six months before the actual defence, and takes place behind closed doors. The pre-defence is set up with your PhD supervisor as soon as your work is deemed by the latter to be suffi-ciently close to being defended.

The pre-defence is when your PhD rapporteurs are de-signated with your PhD supervisor. These rapporteurs must be external to PSE-UMR8545.

The pre-defence jury is composed of your PhD supervi-sor, your two rapporteurs for your PhD jury, and potenti-ally other researchers who will feature in your PhD jury.

At the end of the pre-defence, you have to write a sum-mary report which sets out:

- The remarks made by the jury;- The changes to be made to the thesis;- The way in which you are going to make these

changes in order to satisfy the jury.

According to the changes that are required, the pre-de-fence jury may:

- Ask you to pre-defend your work a second time, or;- Propose that the PhD supervisor proceed and choose

a defence date.

The PhD Defence

In the APE doctoral programme, theses are written in En-glish. However, the PhD regulations require that the the-sis contain an extended summary (around 30 pages) in French.

To defend your PhD, you have to:- Have written at least three original research ar-

ticles;

- Have received the authorisation of your PhD su-pervisor and your pre-defence jury;

- Have chosen, with the help of your PhD supervi-sor, your PhD jury.

The composition of your PhD jury is proposed by your PhD supervisor according to the administrative rules and procedures. The jury consists of three to eight members, including your PhD supervisor and potentially your two 2 rapporteurs from the pre-defence jury. The jury members are chosen for their scientific competence (at least half of the French or Foreign members need to be external to the EHESS and the EDEPS, there needs to be at least one representative of the EHESS, and at least 50% of jury members have to be Professors or equivalent).

Your PhD supervisor cannot serve as either President of the jury or as one of your rapporteurs.

Your bound thesis should be submitted to the Graduate Office of the EHESS in order for the President of the EHESS to authorise the defence.At the same time, either you or your PhD supervisor should transmit the composition of your PhD jury to the Graduate Office of the EHESS.Once you have received the authorisation of the EHESS, the following documents should be submitted to the Gra-duate Office of the EHESS 3 months before your defence: three bound copies of your thesis, two registration forms of defended theses for the FCT, and paper copies of your thesis abstract of one or two pages (including the PhD title and the authors name). A PDF version of your thesis should be sent to Marie-Christine PAOLETTI.

You also have to send a paper copy of your thesis to your jury members, at least three months before the defence date.

After your PhD defense, you should be sent to Marie-Christine PAOLETTI a PDF version of your thesis any made corrections with the authorization forms of dissem-mination on Internet.

Social SecurityStudent social security reimburses health expenditure in the case of illness or pregnancy over the period of the academic year (1st October of year n to the 30th of Sep-tember of year n+1).Social security coverage comes under the authority of the President of the University. This coverage is obligatory for those between16 and 28 years old. According to circums-tances, the student may be obliged to pay the fixed subs-cription fee (200€). This fee is transferred to the URSSAF.

If you are not working and you are less than 28 years old when you register for your first year:

If you do not have an employment contract when you register, you have to join one of the student social security services (for example the SMEREP or the LMDE). These services manage your social security coverage and your mutual insurance coverage (if you have one).

If you are working or you have a PhD contract:If your contract has been signed when you register for your first year, and covers the entire academic year (with a minimum of 120 hours per term), you will be covered by the general social security scheme. You have the possibility of taking out mutual insurance coverage (SMEREP, LMDE, etc.).
