Brian S.

I have a decade of experience working as an economic research associate for a boutique economic consultancy in Cape Town, South Africa. I have done desktop and primary quantitative and qualitative research on the economic and social impact of operations and corporate social responsibility policies of public and private companies in southern Africa on GDP, employment, income distribution and other metrics. I have provided context for these studies by reviewing the academic literature on topics including among others the socio-economic impact of broadband, rural electrification, transportation, mining, gambling, and fisheries management. I have an MBA in Finance from the University of Cape Town and also have a M.A. in International Studies and Economic Development from the Johns Hopkins University, School of International Studies, Washington, D.C. I am fluent in English, German and French.
