Riadh Ben Jelili Maître de Conférences HDR, Université de Bretagne Sud,IAE Bretagne Sud, Vannes, France

Présentation

I have over 30 years of experience as an economist, focusing on applied econometrics, economic development, trade, and foreign direct investment. My work seeks to connect theoretical insights with real-world applications, addressing pressing global challenges like economic resilience, sustainable development, and economic reform. In recent years, I have broadened my research to explore sustainability—particularly in green finance—and the socio-economic aspects of democratic transitions in the Arab world.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with governments, particularly in the Arab region, as well as with international organizations, think tanks, and academic institutions. These partnerships have enabled me to contribute to policies and strategies that support sustainable growth, inclusive governance, and economic reform. I strive to combine rigorous research with practical perspectives to help develop solutions that balance economic progress with social and environmental sustainability.

I am deeply committed to fostering resilience and inclusivity through research, teaching, and policy advising. I value collaboration and always welcome opportunities to work with others who share a dedication to building a more sustainable and equitable future.
