Policy impact is at the heart of my work. I partner with World Bank teams and government agencies around the world to answer policy-relevant questions with rigorous evidence. I have contributed to several policy publications, most notably the 2025 World Development Report. I have worked closely with policymakers in Ecuador, Chile, Honduras, and Rwanda.
I was commissioned to write a chapter for the World Bank’s Ecuador Trade and Investment Competitiveness Report, 2019.
I coauthored a background paper with Daniel Lederman and Marcelo Olarreaga for the World Bank’s report on Latin American Entrepreneurs, 2014. Later published in Canadian Journal of Development Studies, 2016.
I cowrote a chapter and background paper for the World Bank’s Rwanda Country Economic Memorandum, 2024.
