Life & Work

Jean Drèze, born in Belgium in 1959, has lived in India since 1979 and became an Indian citizen in 2002. He studied Mathematical Economics at the University of Essex and did his PhD (Economics) at the Indian Statistical Institute, New Delhi. He has taught at the London School of Economics and the Delhi School of Economics, and is now Visiting Professor at the G.B. Pant Social Science Institute, Allahabad. He has made wide-ranging contributions to development economics and public economics, with special reference to India.

Drèze has worked on many issues relating to development economics including hunger, education, gender inequality, childcare, school feeding, etc. His works combine standard economic methods (such as his articles relating to poverty in India) and tools that are used more commonly by anthropologists (such as his work on Palanpur). The combination of extensive field work and qualitative analysis of everyday life and poverty, along with quantitative work makes his work distinctive in the field of economics.

Apart from academic work he has been actively involved in many social movements including the peace movement, the right to information campaign that led to the Right to Information Act in India, the right to food campaign in India, among others.

During the 1990-1991 Iraq War, he joined a peace camp stationed on the Iraq-Kuwait border. His 1992 article with Haris Gazdar, "Hunger and Poverty in Iraq, 1991", was one of the first assessments of Iraq's economy after the Gulf war, and an early warning about the potential human costs of the Iraq sanctions. Another book that came out of Iraq is, War and Peace in the Gulf, edited by Bela Bhatia, Jean Dreze and Kathy Kelly.
