Field Research

  • International missions: UK, Japan, China, France, Switzerland, Israel, South Africa, USA, Germany, Spain, Russia, Austria, etc. I have been lucky to be able to do some industrial missions across a couple of clusters/ecosystems in various countries. In all these missions, I have been intrigued by the homeostasis of these systems, the impact of the data revolution on them, and the role of the triple helix in each of them.

  • Haïti’s central Bank (2018) https://www.cirano.qc.ca/en/news/750 It was a great honor to present about the data revolution and the new geo-political balance to foresee.

  • Inter-American Development Bank (IDB): “Macroeconomic Scenarios for Haiti”, Project related to the implementation of a universal education system in Haiti, time spent in Port-au-Prince , 2010 I spent time in Haïti right after the terrible earthquake of 2010 doing a mandate for the BID and the Haïtian government, which were willing to put together a new plan for education. Back home in the US that summer, I decided to create edhaiti.org.

  • World Bank: Project on capacity building for public finances assessment in the FY Republic of Macedonia (time spent in Skopje), 2009 The mission was to put together a system/protocol in the finance ministry to build capacity.

  • European Commission – ECFIN DG (Brussels, Belgium): Invited fellow in the Visiting Fellows Programme (grant) , October 9-17, 2005 I worked on analysing the potential options for a new Stability and Growth Pact.
