For almost a decade I worked as a consultant assessing policymakers in developing countries.
I collaborated with United Nations ECLAC, the World Bank, and the International Labour Organization in research projects on labor, inequality and trade in Latin America, South Asia, and Africa.
Many of those projects resulted in inputs for policies or internal documents for discussion among policymakers. Some of that work is open-access:
