Mort de l’économiste Daniel Cohen / La France perd un grand esprit doublé d’un pédagogue
Le professeur d’économie Daniel Cohen est décédé hier à l’âge de 70 ans. Ce spécialiste des problématiques de dette souveraine laisse derrière lui des essais reconnus et une génération de chercheurs éminents marqués par son enseignement à l’École normale supérieure.

Ce matin, les sciences économiques sont en deuil. L’un de ses plus illustres praticiens et représentants, Daniel Cohen, est décédé hier à l’âge de 70 ans. "Daniel Cohen était un professeur. Un homme d’idéal et de transmission. De débats et d’engagement. Nous perdons un grand intellectuel, un économiste qui fit rayonner notre recherche française, un humaniste sincère", a déclaré le président de la République Emmanuel Macron sur X (anciennement Twitter).
Passé par la rue d’Ulm, Daniel Cohen était docteur et agrégé en mathématiques ainsi qu’en économie. Il commence à acquérir une reconnaissance sur le plan académique au cours des années 80, période pendant laquelle émergent ses premiers articles scientifiques, notamment dans la célèbre European Economic Review, signés à quatre mains avec l’économiste Jeffrey Sachs portant sur les problématiques de dette souveraine concernant les pays en développement. Un savoir-faire sur lequel la banque d'affaires Lazard Frères s’appuiera à partir de 2005 en le nommant senior advisor et pour le compte de laquelle il conseillera entre autres le gouvernement grec.
Par la suite, durant la décennie 90, il jouira d’une notoriété grandissante auprès du grand public grâce à ses essais décryptant les rouages et mutations du capitalisme contemporain. Il s’essaiera à injecter de la complexité sans que cela ne se fasse au détriment de la pédagogie, cette dernière n’étant pas une qualité unanimement répandue parmi ses collègues chercheurs. À ce titre, son livre "Richesse du monde, pauvretés des nations", au sein duquel il décrypte les retombées de la mondialisation sur les inégalités, fit date.

Tant et si bien qu’il engrange les prix littéraires en même temps qu’il forme la future génération de chercheurs issus de l’École normale supérieure, dont il dirigera le département d’économie, qui brillera à l’intérieur et hors des frontières du pays des Lumières.
La prix Nobel Esther Duflo, qui fut son assistante de recherche lui doit, comme de nombreux autres normaliens, beaucoup, ces derniers n’ayant eu de cesse de tarir d’éloges à son propos et reconnaissent aisément qu’ils auraient pu suivre un autre chemin s’ils n’avaient pas assisté à ses cours. C’est ainsi qu’Esther Duflo se destinait à étudier l’histoire avant de se plonger dans… l’aide au développement.
Parmi ses autres anciens élèves, l’on peut notamment citer Gabriel Zucman et Emmanuel Saez, tous deux récipiendaires de la médaille John Bates Clark (meilleur économiste de moins de 40 ans au plan mondial), Antoine Bozio, directeur de l’Institut des politiques publiques (IPP), Camille Landais, président délégué du Conseil d’analyse économique (CAE), Augustin Landier, prix du meilleur jeune économiste français en 2014 ou encore le regretté Emmanuel Farhi, qui fut professeur à Harvard.
L'apport au monde de l’enseignement de Daniel Cohen s’est également traduit à travers sa participation à la création de Paris School of Economics (PSE) fin 2006, une école qui figure aujourd’hui parmi les plus prestigieuses institutions de recherche européennes, voire du monde.
