The IDB Group is a community of diverse, versatile, and passionate people who come together on a journey to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Our people find purpose and do what they love in an inclusive, collaborative, agile, and rewarding environment.
About this position:
To achieve sustainable and equitable development in the region, the Research Department (RES) generates new ideas to enrich the knowledge base supporting the policy agenda of the Bank and its member countries. To maximize the impact of its research, RES carries out activities that serve as inputs to Bank departments, governments, academia, and public opinion in the region.
The research carried out at RES aims to accomplish two goals. First, RES intends to engage with broader research produced in other policy institutions as well as in academia more generally. To achieve this, RES economists engage in academic research aimed at publication in scientific journals, present papers in seminars and conferences, etc. RES also organizes a seminar series called EconNet, in which leading scholars and economists visit RES to present their research and discuss it with RES economists, as well as other research meetings.
Moreover, the research conducted at RES complements the Bank’s analysis of the economic situation of countries in the Region and supports the review process of assessments of macroeconomic conditions, the preparation of country strategy documents, and various other activities. RES also contributes analytical inputs for the IDB’s annual report, the Latin American and Caribbean Macroeconomic report, and other IDB publications, speeches, and presentations.
The consultant will support the activities related to the broad policy work and research conducted by RES economists, which includes the preparation of presentations and talking points, the review of country documents, preparation of inputs for RES flagship reports and other corporate products, the organization of policy and research events. .
