The Observatoire Français des Conjonctures Économiques (lit. 'French Observatory of Economic Cycles'), often referred to by its acronym OFCE, is a prominent French economic policy think tank in Paris. 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 23, it was ranked 16th worldwide (and first in France) among economic think tanks by the RePEc initiative.^[2]
