Publications: United Nations Publications

I prepared numerous United Nations publications—but these publications (both sales publications and none-sales documents) do not indicate authorship, as per UN policy. However, sales publications sometimes contain acknowledgement pages that mention the individuals involved. This applies, e.g., to the World Investment Report series (which I created and was the leader of the team that prepared it until 2004):

UNCTAD, World Investment Report 2004: The Shift Towards Services (Geneva and New York: United Nations, 2004).

UNCTAD, World Investment Report 2003. FDI Policies for Development: National and International Perspectives (Geneva and New York: United Nations, 2003).

UNCTAD, World Investment Report 2002: Transnational Corporations and Export Competitiveness (Geneva and New York: United Nations, 2002).
