Throughout his career, Dr. Lopez-Claros has written in a variety of professional publications such as the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, the Occasional Paper Series at the International Monetary Fund, the Washington Quarterly, and the Journal of International Commerce, Economics, and Policy. He has also published numerous Op Ed articles in some of the world’s leading newspapers including the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, International Herald Tribune, plus many others in multiple other countries.
A noted international speaker, he recently delivered the keynote address at the Stockholm School of Economics entitled Equality for Women = Prosperity for All, based on his book with internationally renowned novelist Bahiyyih Nakhjavani published by St. Martin’s Press. Commenting on it professor Ruth Kaddari, Vice-President of the United Nations Experts Committee wrote: “The authors of Equality for Women=Prosperity for All offer a refreshing look at gender inequality, a subject rendered all the more painful for being both entrenched in society and exhausted by analysis over the past decades. Their unique combination of economics and literature, of a deep commitment to feminism and an extensive grasp of global politics succeeds in looking at gender relations from an unconventional perspective, and in a language that is exceptionally transparent.”
