Uri Dadush is senior associate and director in Carnegie’s new International Economics Program. His work currently focuses on trends in the global economy and the global financial crisis. He is also interested in the implications of the increased weight of developing countries for the pattern of financial flows, trade and migration, and the associated economic policy and governance questions.

A French citizen, Dadush previously served as the World Bank’s director of international trade for six years and before that as director of economic policy for three years. He has also served concurrently as the director of the Bank’s world economy group over the last eleven years, leading the preparation of the Bank’s flagship reports on the international economy over that period.

Prior to joining the World Bank, he was president and CEO of the Economist Intelligence Unit and Business International, part of the Economist Group (1986–1992); group vice president, international, for Data Resources, Inc. (1982–1986), now Global Insight; and a consultant with McKinsey and Co. in Europe.

Featured Analysis

Migrants and the Global Financial Crisis

Migrants are economic assets for both their host and home countries, but the global financial crisis has disproportionately affected migrants, who are both economically and politically vulnerable. Migration responds to labor demand in the host country—it increases during economic booms and decreases during busts, thus minimizing competition with native-born workers. Policy makers in host countries should resist political pressures calling for measures against migrants and make sure that migrants’ contribution to economic welfare is more broadly understood. Temporary migration programs and collaboration with migrant-sending countries can help maximize the economic benefits of migration, including in times of crisis.
