Advising

In addition to teaching and academic research, I have done a lot of advisory work for ‘real world’ people.

Over the years, I have worked with most of the UN organisations that deal with socio-economic issues and a number of multilateral financial organisations, like the World Bank. I have worked with many government agencies and private sector firms and organizations. I have also worked with many non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
