 Antonio ESTACHE

I have spent 25 years (1982-2007) at the World Bank working on the reform and regulation of network industries (electricity, telecoms, transport and water and sanitation), on public sector reform (budgetary processes, civil service reform, expenditure monitoring, tax reform), on decentralization and on macroeconomic modeling.

I have also been teaching quite extensively to civil servants, regulators and private sector operators of public services as well as to graduate students in Africa, East Asia and Latin America (and occasionally in the US and Europe).

On January 1, 2008, I joined the Universite Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), I teach public economics to undergraduate and graduate students and regulation of network industries and public policies for the environment to graduate students. I am also the beneficiary of the Bernard Van Ommeslaghe Chair which finances the dissemination of research on network industries in Europe. I will of course continue working as much as I can on developing countries issues.
