Career and research
[edit]Prior to 1996 Goldin was principal economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)[16] in London, and program director at the OECD[17] 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)[18][19] and served as an adviser to President Nelson Mandela.[20] He transitioned the Bank from an apartheid-era institution to a major agent for development in the 14 countries of Southern Africa.[21] During this period, Goldin was finance director for South Africa's Olympic Games bid.[citation needed]
Goldin was director of development policy at the World Bank[22] (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 worked on the research and strategy agenda of the Bank, 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.[citation needed]
In 2006, Goldin became founding director of the Oxford Martin School.[3] The school established 45 programmes of research, with over 500 academics from over 100 disciplines.[23] He remained the School's director until September 2016 when Achim Steiner followed him in this position. He is now[when?] Director of three research programmes at the department: Technological and Economic Change, Future of Work and Future of Development].[3]
Goldin initiated and was vice-chair of the Oxford Martin Commission for Future Generations,[24] which brought together international leaders from government, business, academia, media and civil society to discuss a long-term perspective in international negotiations. Chaired by Pascal Lamy, the Commission published its findings in October 2013.[25]
Goldin is also a founding trustee of the International Center for Future Generations, a think tank that is dedicated to ensuring that future decision-makers and equipped and emerging technologies are harnessed to best serve the interests of humanity.[26]
Goldin has been a distinguished visiting professor at Sciences Po, Paris[27] and served on the advisory committee of ETH Zurich[28] and 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[29] initiative to reform the economics curriculum and the teaching of economics.[citation needed] 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?', as well as the BBC Analysis 'the Death of Globalisation?'[30]
Goldin is the author of 25 books and over 60 journal articles.[4][5][21] He is one of the co-authors of "Exceptional People: How migration shaped our world and will define our future".[31]
