Career

Prior to 1996 Goldin was principal economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)[7] in London, and program director at the OECD[8] in Paris, where he directed the Development Centre's Programs on Trade, Environment and Sustainable Development.

From 1996 to 2001, Goldin was chief executive and managing director of the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA)[9][10] and at that time also served as an adviser to President Nelson Mandela. He succeeded in transforming the Bank from an apartheid-era institution to become the leading agent of development in the 14 countries of Southern Africa. During this period, Goldin served on several government committees and boards, and was finance director for South Africa's Olympic Games bid.

Goldin was director of development policy at the World Bank[11] (2001–2003) and then vice president of the World Bank (2003–2006). He served on the Bank's senior management team, and was directly responsible for its relationship with the UK and all other European, North American and developed countries. Goldin led the Bank's collaboration with the United Nations and other partners. As Director of Development Policy, Goldin played a central role in the research and strategy agenda of the Bank, working closely with the Chief Economist, Lord Nicholas Stern, under the leadership of James Wolfensohn. During this period, Goldin was special representative at the United Nations and served on the chief executive board of the UN and the UN Reform Task Force.

In 2006, Goldin became founding director of the Oxford Martin School. Under his leadership, the school established 45 programmes of research, bringing together more than 500 academics from over 100 disciplines,[12] and becoming the world's leading centre for interdisciplinary research into critical global challenges. He remained the School's director until September 2016 when Achim Steiner followed him in this position.

Goldin initiated and was vice-chair of the Oxford Martin Commission for Future Generations,[13] which brought together international leaders from government, business, academia, media and civil society to address the growing short-term preoccupations of modern politics and business, and identify ways of overcoming today's gridlock in key international negotiations. Chaired by Pascal Lamy, the Commission published its findings in October 2013.[14][15][16][17][18]

Other activities

In addition to his Oxford appointments, Goldin has been a distinguished visiting professor at Sciences Po, Paris[19] and served on the Advisory Committee of ETH-Zurich[20] and IDDRI (The Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations), Paris. He is an honorary trustee of Comic Relief and is chair of the trustees of the Core-Econ initiative to reform the economics curriculum and the teaching of economics. He is the writer and presenter of the BBC series 'After the Crash', 'The Pandemic that Changed the World', and documentary: 'Will AI Kill Development?' He has been interviewed and presented on all major global news media, including BBCHardTalk.

Goldin has been engaged with governments and with other policy actors on development in Asia (notably, in China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam), Africa (worked in over 25 countries in Africa, including in Maghreb, Francophone Africa, and Southern and Eastern Africa), Eastern Europe (Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Poland), Latin America (notably, Mexico, Central America, Argentina, Chile and Brazil), the European Union, US, and Japan.

As a visiting lecturer, he has given lectures, workshops and seminars at the Universities of Oxford, Harvard, MIT, Columbia (New York), UC Berkeley, LSE, Sussex, Sorbonne (Paris 1), SciencesPo., Toulouse, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Tokyo, Cape Town, Witwatersrand, Dar es Salaam, Accra, Beijing, Tsinghua, Shanghai, Singapore, Thailand (TDRI), Rome, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Fe, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Managua, Mexico DF, and to numerous foundations, think tanks and others.

He has initiated and directed a wide range of collaborative research programs including OECD/CEPR/Rockefeller Programs on “The Economics of Sustainable Development” and “Economic Reform, Trade and Development”.

He is an acclaimed author and has published 22 books and over 60 journal articles.
