"Put the box to economic tools at the service of the reality", and Christian de Boissieu, the President of the Council of economic analysis, summarized constant Pier Carlo Padoan, he knows well the goal and the challenge. Italian who, in a few days of its sixtieth anniversary, adds Chief Economist to the Secretary General Assistant of OECD - he has held since 2007.
By enrolling in economics at the University La Sapienza of Rome, Pier Carlo Padoan young hopes to find "something that could him to understand the society". To plunge into Keynes, money problems, the international economy. And in "post-doc", immersed in dynamic Econometrics, differential equations... Turning twelve hours a day before the computers of the 1970s, huge machines that made a deafening noise. "I liked it, he says dreamer, c ' was like a gothique. Cathedral".
Economist, Pier Carlo Padoan well became it, under two facets that feed on one another. As a teacher-researcher - in its Faculty of origin but also, notably, at the free University of Brussels, in Tokyo, the College of Europe in Bruges - and national or international organizations. The financial crisis, foreign exchange, European integration are among the subjects of predilection of who loves nothing less that hang out in Paris and surveying roads of France with his wife.
A man of the left
Outside the walls of the University, this man of the left is committed first to the top of the Italian State. In 1998 indeed, Giuseppe D'Alema, then Prime Minister, calls it beside him as Advisor. On the menu of functions of one who has a "very good reputation in academic circles", according to Christian de Boissieu: Europe, the G8, the bilateral relations of the peninsula. "Understand what is the economic added value for the policy is a very difficult challenge", says Pier Carlo Padoan, insisting on the need for a "very thorough analysis" and an extreme conciseness. The qualities that are vital to the international monetary Fund (IMF), which he is Executive Director of the Italy and several countries of the South from 2001 to 2005. One of the folders that occupy so much: the debt of the Argentina - which poses a problem, always current, of the international definition of debt management.
The IMF, Pier Carlo Padoan saw also and above all within the "European paradox". Within the institution, Europe is strong as an Executive Director in three European. But regret, "the voice of Europe is very low." "I am convinced that it must have a single European voice in international forums," he argues. Deploring that the financial and economic crisis present has not allowed the Europeans to overcome their lack of coordination ("coordination failure").
After a relatively short passage in Italy - as a Professor of Economics at La Sapienza and Director of the Fondazione Italianieuropa of Massimo D'Alema, a return to politics, Pier Carlo Padoan found with delight the medium of international forums. At the OECD, "a very complicated international institutional animal." This does not preclude regularly play tennis and hiking on glaciers. Particularly in the Monte Rosa, the second highest Alpine summit.
