Maxime Menuet is a Professor of Economics at Université Côte d’Azur (GREDEG) and a Research Associate at ɫƵ Business School in Paris. He holds a PhD in Economics and two Master’s degrees in macroeconomics/finance and mathematics from the University of Orléans. In 2023, he obtained his Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) from Paris VIII, enabling him to supervise doctoral research.

His research interests span economic theory, political economy, macroeconomics, public debt, and conflict. He has published extensively in top-tier journals such as the Journal of Economic Theory, Social Choice and Welfare, Environmental and Resource Economics, and History of Political Economy. His interdisciplinary approach is also reflected in recent works that blend economic analysis with theological and historical perspectives. Notably, his forthcoming book “Man and Capitalism” will be published by Éditions du Cerf in November 2025.

Maxime Menuet is currently Deputy Director of EUR ELMI at Université Côte d’Azur, overseeing research activities. He also co-directs the European Research Group on Money, Banking, and Finance (GDRE). His contributions have been recognized through multiple honors, including the ANR Young Researcher Grant and visiting scholarships at institutions such as Duke University, Osaka University, and UCAM in Montreal. His ongoing projects explore sustainability in public debt and the political economy of debt reduction.
