Dr. Ted Moran is an expert at quantifying the benefits and costs of globalization. In his 2002 book, Beyond Sweatshops, Professor Moran demonstrated that most FDI goes to sectors in which workers are not easily exploited. His work as consultant to the World Bank, the United Nations, governments of various emerging market nations, and in the private sector, provides an objective look at the inter-relationship between economic and societal development.
Professor Moran received his PhD from Harvard in 1971 and was appointed a member of the Blue Ribbon Advisory Board of MIGA (the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency of the World Bank Group) in 2000. He presently serves as the Marcus Wallenberg Professor of International Business and Finance at the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, where he teaches and conducts research at the intersection of international economics, business, foreign affairs, and public policy.
