He wrote his PhD at MIT under the guidance of Paul Krugman, with whom he has co-authored half a dozen articles. He received honorary doctorates from the Turku School of Economics (Finland), University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) and Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP).[9][1]

He was Associate Professor (1989–1991) and Assistant Professor (1986–1989) at Columbia University Business School. In 1990–1991 he followed trade matters for the President's Council of Economic Advisors in the Bush White House. He worked as an Associate Economic Affairs Officer for UNCTAD in the early 1980s. In 1991 he joined the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies as Professor of International Economics, where he has remained.

He has consulted for many governments and international organisations including the EU, the OECD, the World Bank, EFTA, and USAID.
