Paolo Zeppini

I am an associate professor in economics (Maitre de conference, HDR) with a background in physics. I write mathematical models of complex economic systems, phenomena of self-organisation, `emergence’ and tipping points from non-linearities of human behaviour interacting with social structure.

My main lines of research are the following:
– non linear economic dynamics
– financial markets and behavioural asset pricing
– green transitions and circular economy
– economic networks and diffusion models
– evolutionary dynamics of preferences

I hold the chair Collegium of Advanced Studies of the IDEX Universite’ Cote d’Azur with the project PHASES (Social Phase Transitions), call ANR15-IDEX-01.

Since 1st October 2025 I am the coordinator of the project ABSolEU (Paving the way for an ABS recycling revolution in the EU) HORIZON-CL4-2021-RESILIENCE-01 call.
