Thomas Delcey Associate Professor in Economics, Université de Bourgogne Europe
I am an historian of economic thought, with a particular focus on the 20th century. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Bourgogne Europe in Dijon, France. I am managing editor of the Œconomia and a member of the network REHPERE (Réseau en Épistémologie et en Histoire de la Pensée Économique Récente).
My research focuses on the history of economic thought, with an interest in the history of finance and the circulation of economic ideas across the 20th century. I develop a mixed approach combining qualitative text analysis with quantitative methods—bibliometrics, network analysis, topic modeling, and large language models—to study how economic ideas evolve and diffuse. I currently apply them to new research directions, including the conceptions of future and ecology in economics.
