Erfahrungsberichte

Laura VartiaEconomics Department (ECO)
My name is Laura Vartia and I come from Helsinki, Finland. I joined the OECD as a Young Professional in December 2004 just after finishing my Ph.D. During the YP Programme I worked on two interesting and challenging projects in the Economics Department and my experience of working at the OECD has been very good. In February 2006 I was offered a position as an economist in the Economics Department and I currently work in the Structural Policy Branch.

Masato HayashikawaDevelopment Co-operation Directorate (DCD)
In my first year as a YP at the OECD, I was assigned to the Development Centre (DEV). Here I was mainly involved in research work to evaluate the impact of donor-supported trade capacity building programmes in Africa in stimulating the supply-side response to export diversification. I also had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania as part of this research work.
Las December, I moved to the Development Co-operation Directorate (DCD) Poverty Reduction and Growth Division. I am currently involved in the DAC work on strengthening the relevance and effectiveness of trade-related technical assistance and capacity building in the context of the WTO Development Agenda.
Before joining the OECD as a YP, I had experience of working in both the public and private sectors. I had also worked in Africa and Asia, including two years in the Philippines. This is not the first time I have worked at the OECD, however. I worked in ENV for two years as an associate expert seconded by the Japanese government, so I already knew some things about the Organisation before coming back as a YP.

Romina BoarininEconomics Department (ECO)
I am originally from Rome, but have been living in Paris for the last seven years. I am an Economist: having graduated in Rome, I studied for a DEA in economic policy and analysis (“Analyse et Politique Economiques”) at the DELTA (Paris), followed by a PhD at the Ecole Polytechnique. I found the transition from the academic to the “real” world extremely challenging and rewarding. What I most like here is working on relevant policy issues and delivering concrete results and recommendations to help our societies to move forward.
During my stay at the OECD, I have worked on three different topics: poverty, well-being, and human capital. I was extremely lucky to work on such great projects, where I could learn a lot and at the same time contribute to stimulating and original research. One of these projects involved the collaboration of three directorates and that was enriching as well: the OECD should bet more often on horizontal projects!

Ana Cebreiro-GómezDirectorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (ELS)
I am form the North-West of Spain (Galicia). I joined the YP Programme late, in April, because of the arrival of my first baby, Sabine. Before moving to Paris, for almost 9 years I lived in the United Kingdom where I finished my PhD in Economics, worked for two years for the UK Government (Inland Revenue) and for one year in an economic consulting firm (DotEcon).
I joined the OECD looking for challenging projects with impact on policy makers at an international level.
I think the YP Programme is a great opportunity to work at the OECD, although some improvements are necessary, for instance specific training for YP’s. My experience has been very good so far. In my first year at the CTPA I have been involved in very interesting and challenging projects and I have been responsible for an important publication for the Centre (Taxing Wages).

Jana MalinskaPublic Governance and Territorial Development (GOV)
I joined the OECD Young Professional Programme after having worked with the World Bank in Washington and the Czech Business and Investment Promotion Agency in Prague. I studied at the London School of Economics. My academic and professional focus was on the global and local economic impact of foreign direct investments and global value chain analysis. The Young Professional Programme challenged me to grasp new areas of work. My first assignment was to research the future OECD migration flows and policies. In my second assignment, I am helping launch the GOV “Management in Government” project. Our aim is to provide Member countries with access to data on efficient public services and administration to assess public sector reforms.

Monika TothovaDirectorate for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries (AGR)
I joined OECD as a YP in December 2004 after earning a joint PhD in economics and agricultural economics from Michigan State University. I have been privileged to be part of the OECD YP Programme because of its reputation and competitiveness. The YP Programme offers a great opportunity to apply my economic skills to contemporary policy issues and real world problems.During my first assignment in the Directorate for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries is on the trade and trade policy implications of differing policy responses to scietal concerns. In my spare time I enjoy studying French. I hail from Nitra, Slovakia.
