Bernard Morel (27 March 1946 – 11 November 2021) was a French economist and politician.[1] He was a professor emeritus of economics at the University of Provence[2] and wrote numerous publications on the subject.[3] A member of the Socialist Party, he served as Vice-President of the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from 2012 until his death in 2021.[4]
Economist, Bernard Morel holds a doctorate in economic sciences. His work initially focused on economic and social forecasting, and more specifically on the relationship between long-term forecasts and short-term forecasts. This was the subject of his thesis, defended in 1977 and supervised by Professor Christian Goux, whose collaborator he would become, first at the Laboratoire de conjoncture et prospective in Chaville (Yvelines) and Bandol (Var). Subsequently, his work focused on geographical economics – and more specifically on regional economics – and on regional planning and urban development.
