Giuseppe Nicoletti, a Ph. D. in Economics from New York University, has been heading since 2004 the Structural Policy Analysis Division at the OECD Economics Department in Paris, where he is in charge of cross-country structural studies presented at the Working Party No. 1 of the OECD Economic Policy Committee. In this position, he led numerous projects comparing public policies across countries in various areas -- including product and labour markets, taxation, infrastructure investment and the environment -- and relating these policies to comparative performances of both OECD and emerging economies. Since 2008, he was in charge of work on the economics of climate change mitigation and responsible for green growth related work within the OECD economics department. In this context, he was closely involved in G20 work on including green growth and sustainable development into the structural reform agenda. Dr Nicoletti personal research spans comparison of structural policies across countries, including the design and development of policy indicators (such as the OECD Product Market Regulation indicators) and the empirical investigation of the impact of structural policies on economic performance. He has published extensively on both refereed journals and volumes on topics related to policies, institutions and growth outcomes.
