Carol Matlack is BusinessWeek’s bureau chief in Paris, where she is responsible for coverage of economic, business, and financial news in France and neighboring countries.

Before moving to Paris, she worked as a BusinessWeek correspondent in Moscow, covering Russia’s turbulent transition to capitalism. Previously, she was based in Washington, DC, where she was managing editor of National Journal, a weekly magazine on government and politics. She began her journalism career in Arkansas, covering a young governor named Bill Clinton for the Arkansas Gazette newspaper.

She is a graduate of Oberlin College and was awarded the American Political Science Association’s Congressional Fellowship.

At a time when European unemployment rates are soaring, particularly in countries such as France and Germany, the research of Gayle Allard, a Californian, on the effects of welfare-state policies on employment and unemployment is of particular relevance.

Her most recent areas of focus include how the welfare state affects productivity as well as jobs, and what effect immigration flows have on the labour market. She has developed an indicator for employment-protection legislation that covers all of the OECD countries since 1950, and a new indicator for the generosity of unemployment benefits, called the net reservation wage, for the same countries and period.

“It’s fascinating to see how implementing and even just administering these policies differently gives rise to very different results,” she says. “I’m also doing a lot of research and data mining on immigration because, with an aging population and a declining native population, that is becoming a real challenge for Europe.”

And as with her research, Prof Allard’s teaching of economic environment and international economics is always done in reference to what is happening in the real world. “I try to touch on everything that’s relevant to business,” she says. “I give real life examples constantly and I’m always bringing up comparative data, different models and different approaches. Operating at the level of the ivory tower just doesn’t seem intuitive and it is natural to me to deal with the real world.”

As well as teaching the core course on Economic Environment, an elective course on Business in Developing Countries and several short courses and conferences in the executive education division, Gonzalo Garland also finds time to carry out the administrative responsibilities required of him in his role as director of external relations at IE Business School.

But teaching - which he says he first experienced at the age of 17 - is in his blood and he remains passionate about it. “Teaching is crucial,” he says. “I like transmitting knowledge and being able to explain things that at first might seem difficult for people. But when they suddenly understand what you’re talking about and see the relevance, it’s very gratifying.”

In the field of macroeconomics, Prof Garland has conducted research into the economic effects of demographic changes and he is also an expert on financial crises. And with his specialist knowledge of the economics of developing countries such as China, India, Brazil and Mexico, Prof Garland expertise is much in demand, as MBA students look for business education programmes that have an increasingly international flavour.

“Everyone wants a more global vision,” he says. “And the fact that 85 per cent of students in the international MBA at IE Business School are from outside Spain makes the classes fascinating because often, what you’re talking about is something that people are relating to the situation in their own countries.”
