Xavier Jaravel (born 26 September 1989) is a French economist and civil servant.
On March 17,2025,Jaravel was appointed Deputy President of the Conseil d'analyse économique for a five-year term by decree of the Prime Minister. [1] He has been an associate professor of the London School of Economics since 2020. [2]
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. [3]
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.

In 2019,Jaravel was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize. [5] In 2021,he was awarded the Prix du meilleur jeune économiste de France. [6] [7] In 2023,he was awarded the Prix du livre d'économie. [8]
