Career
His research covers inflation, innovation, trade, and econometric methods, often using microeconomic approaches to study macroeconomic questions, and includes work on how expanding access to innovation-related careers and education can promote innovation while reducing inequality.[4]
A major theme in Jaravel’s research is the relationship between innovation and inequality. In a series of papers, he has documented how social background influences the likelihood of becoming an inventor or innovator, showing that many potentially productive innovators are excluded from the innovation process due to barriers related to income, education, or geography. These ideas were further developed in his 2023 book Marie Curie habite dans le Morbihan: Démocratiser l’innovation, which discusses how France and other advanced economies can expand participation in scientific and technological innovation.[5]
