He held various positions at the University of Graz (1973–1975), University of Vienna (1975–1992), and University of Saarland 1992–2003), and worked at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (1985–1987), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) (1988–1990), and the World Bank (1997–2011). At the World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C., he served as Sector Director (1997–2009), Research Director (2009–2011), and acting Senior Vice-President (2002–2003). From 1983 to 2005, he directed the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Economic Policy Analyses (Vienna). He currently holds honorary positions at the University of Malaya (Kuala Lumpur) and the University of New South Wales (Sydney). He is a Research Fellow at IZA (a German labor market think tank in Bonn) and CESifo (Munich). In 2014 he was elected Full Member (Fellow) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He consults for governments, international organizations, and research institutions. Holzmann holds various editorial and advisory positions, including: Associate Editor‒ ''Journal of the Economics of Ageing''; Associate Editor, Economics – ''E-journal''; Member and Chairman of the Advisory Board ‒ EcoAustria Research Institute; Board Member ‒ Austrian Economic Association; Member ‒ Advisory Council of IIF Business School (New Delhi, India); Member‒ Advisory Board of Center of Development Studies (University of Rome II – Tor Vergata); Member – Editorial and Advisory Board of ''International Journal of Social Security and Workers Compensation'' (Australia); Member – Editorial Board of ''Journal of Public Policy''; Member – Council of Advisors, Population Europe; and Distinguished Associate – Atlantic International Economic Society. Holzmann’s research and operational involvement extends to all regions of the world. He has published 34 books and over 150 articles on social, fiscal, and financial policy issues. An avid traveler for both work and pleasure, he has visited over 80 countries and is fluent in German, English, French, and Spanish. == Educational Background == Raised in Styria, Holzmann studied economics at the Universities of Graz (Austria), Grenoble (France), Bristol (England), and Vienna (Austria). He received an M.A. in economics in 1972 (Graz), a doctorate in economics in 1977 (Vienna), and a "habilitation" (kind of a second Ph.D.) in 1983 (Vienna), at which time he was promoted to Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Vienna. Holzmann’s Ph.D. thesis on the Austrian pension system involved development of the first large-scale simulation/projection model in Austria, among the first of its kind in Europe (Bös and Holzmann 1976; Holzmann 1979). His habilitation thesis on intertemporal income distribution deepened his understanding of the role and limits of public policy as well as markets but also of the importance and limits of simulation techniques (Holzmann 1984, 1990). His work on this topic and the interaction between lifetime consumption, lifetime income, and intertemporal redistributive outcomes profited greatly from a research stay at the University of Bristol in 1982 and the intensive interaction with and guidance of Angus Deaton (the 2015 winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Holzmann’s interest in policy-relevant modelling and strategic economic and social policy thinking would become the touchstone for the rest of his career. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Holzmann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
