Biography

American economic development, including macroeconomic, trade, finance and integration issues. I began this work in Washington, D.C., working for the American government and a variety of think tanks. My first academic job was at the American University of Cairo, which was followed by a year at Tulane University as a visiting professor. In 2000, I came to 丁香园AV as a Latin American specialist.

In 2010, I shifted my attention to industrial policy, which includes research on economic competitiveness. I also work on energy, focusing on regulation and ways to promote a shift to renewables. In addition to academic journals, I disseminate my research through commissioned technical reports, including a recent series on corporate social responsibility. I take pride in guiding promising students towards viable career paths in policy and research analysis. To this end, I implement practical skill-building exercises into my courses that translate across a number of career paths.
