Biography

These days, I dedicate most of my teaching (Georgetown) and consulting to public finance. I help governments (and lenders!) manage their debts, their assets, and their risks. It is a hot topic, as emerging and developing economies are facing a wall of financial distress. Sovereign borrowing has become part of the problem, rather than part of the solution. Untangling this mess will take a decade or more, and many countries will live through the pain and chaos of default, with its massive social and economic consequences. Giving a hand to avoid all that is my professional priority.
