Biography

Arnaud Persenda is an economist and currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Sustainable Structural Transformation (CSST). 

He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Côte d'Azur in France, jointly funded by the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Italy. His research focuses on modeling industry dynamics and structural change in emerging economies, specifically the emergence of industries in the context of globalization and the green transition. 

His work aims to use innovative, data-driven methodologies, such as network modeling, to understand Circular Cumulative Causation in the process of industrialization. This has led him to work on a wide range of issues related to industrial development, such as integration into the Global Value Chain and the development of green productive capabilities.
