Ricardo Hausmann is Director of Harvard's Center for International Development and Professor of the Practice of Economic Development at the Kennedy School of Government. Previously he served as the first Chief Economist of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

Prof. Hausmann will present an original paper diagnosing Brazil’s present economic situation, and will debate his findings with a panel of politicians, journalists, and academics. Hausmann achieved recognition for his work diagnosing the economic status of nations. He developed a model which permits one to identify the principal obstacle that stands in the way of a nation’s rapid and sustainable growth. By focusing on the principal problem that strangles economic growth, Hausmann believes that the government should concentrate its forces on promoting reform in the sector that was diagnosed, and thereby bring great benefit to the nation.
