Assoc. Prof. Glenn Magerman, Ph.D.

Glenn is an Associate Professor of Economics at ECARES, Université Libre de Bruxelles, a Research Affiliate at CEPR in London/Paris, and a Research Fellow at VIVES, KU Leuven. Glenn holds a PhD in Economics from KU Leuven and is a Fulbright alumnus to Stanford University, supervised by Prof. Matt Jackson. He is a Visiting Fellow at the Oxford Martin School and serves as an academic consultant for the multi-year research network "Challenges to Monetary Policy" of the European Central Bank.

His research agenda focuses on production networks and global value chains. Specifically, he investigates the factors that determine firm productivity and growth, the transmission of economic shocks from one agent to another, the contribution of networks to aggregate outcomes such as growth, welfare, inequality, and inflation, and the development of policies within these networks. His research has been published in various high-level international academic outlets, including Science, the Journal of Political Economy, and the Journal of the European Economic Association, among others.

Glenn has been deeply involved in the development and analysis of firm-to-firm supply chain datasets for nearly a decade, and has collaborated with the National Bank of Belgium to develop the world's first exhaustive firm-to-firm panel network data. He continues to engage actively with policymakers, statistical offices, and various European initiatives to further develop supply chain datasets for academic and policy research.
The visit to CES will provide numerous opportunities to exchange views and ideas on the academic and policy agenda related to production networks and value chains with experts at CES and LMU.
