In Romania, true research is carried out by physicists, by mathematicians, by computer scientists, by certain breeds of other engineers, by lots of people--except economists: this is pretty much the current perception.

My objective isn't to change that view or the current state of research here, but like many others I am taking the steps needed towards becoming a counter-example to this widely-held view. Over time, I have taken part in a number of research projects; this page lists some of the results from that work. You can read some information about my PhD work here and see some of the pictures from the degree ceremony event.

Here is a list of my papers in English:

During the 2003/2004 academic year I took a Masters degree in Social Policy called "IMPALLA". As part of that course, I looked at several issues of interest to me, work which resulted in a number of papers. Of those, I have selected three for broader dissemination (below). The first entry is my dissertation paper.

  1. "Well-being in the Workplace: the legal framework in relation to welfare regimes and industrial relations. A comparative analysis across the EU-15 countries and Norway" (PDF) is my dissertation paper where I use Qualitative Comparative Analysis to model the presence of legislation (in some countries there is more, in some less) dealing with well-being at work across the 16 countries studied
  2. "Information and Communication Technologies Policymaking in Romania" (PDF) looks at the fundamental elements of policymaking within a theoretical framework and draws some interesting conclusions
  3. "The Why's and How's of Pension Reform" (PDF) takes a comprehensive view at pension reform in Europe (note: this version contains no bibliographical references)
  4. "Love, Freedom and Truth" (PDF) is an attempt to reconcile a very personal take on life with an academic framework offered by leading sociologists

Finally, here is a brief summary of my Romanian-language papers so far (ordered chronologically):
