The Observatoire Français des Conjonctures Économiques ( lit.

It is mostly government-funded and hosted by the Sciences Po higher education organization. OFCE's research is regularly featured in French media, and it has ongoing relationships with French and European public authorities. [1] As of May 2023, OFCE was ranked 16th worldwide (and first in France) among economic think tanks by the RePEc initiative. [2]
OFCE was founded in 1981 following a 1979 report by René Lenoir and Baudouin Prot. [3] It was long established in a riverfront building on 69, Quai d'Orsay in Paris, and moved in March 2017 to more modern offices at 10, place de Catalogne. [4]

In the early 2020s, OFCE President Xavier Ragot has been cited internationally among the top French economists. [8]
In late 2023, a government-commissioned report by economists Jean-Luc Tavernier and Nicolas Véron recommended a merger between OFCE and CEPII, another government-funded think tank that focuses on international economics. Upon the report's publication, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne endorsed the recommendation. [9]
