Biography
Martin Grant Gilman moved to Moscow in July 2005 to assume the post of Professor of Economics and Director of the newly created Centre for Advanced Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (www.cas.hse.ru). He is also an independent director of Rosbank since May 2006 and comments regularly in the media on international economic issues of relevance to Russia.
His extensive experience with Russia began as one of the senior staff on the IMF’s Russia team, first commuting from Washington as adviser from the policy department on the negotiating mission from June 1993 with overall responsibility for the external sector policies, and then he moved to Russia in November 1996 as the director of the IMF’s Moscow Office.
Gilman worked for the International Monetary Fund for 24 years. In his last position (from July 2002), Gilman was assistant director in the IMF’s Policy Development and Review Department, responsible for official financing issues, including sovereign debt questions. In that capacity, he was also the IMF representative to the Paris Club, implemented the IMF’s policy on debt sustainability in the context of the Evian Approach, liaised with the Berne Union of export credit agencies, and had responsibility for the HIPC Initiative.
Earlier in his IMF career, he dealt with currency convertibility questions, reviews of economic adjustment programs in member countries and G-7 coordination. Before Russia, mission assignments included Armenia, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Georgia, Romania, Yugoslavia, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, Cote d’Ivoire, Gabon, Madagascar, Mauritius, Comoros, Kenya, and Uganda.
Before joining the IMF, Gilman was an economist at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris from 1975 – 1981, working on the OECD liberalization codes, international financial markets, and direct investment issues, while completing his doctoral dissertation at the LSE. He also taught as an adjunct lecturer at the University of Paris/Sorbonne (in conjunction with the Institute of European Studies) from 1978-81 and was a research fellow at the University of Reading (U.K.) before joining the OECD.

Why Politicians Don't Listen to Economists: First Meeting of Economic Policy Club Takes Place at HSE University
Participants of the HSE Economic Policy Club discussed why politics often serves the interests of a small group of people to the detriment of the welfare of the majority of citizens, and also why the government ignores recommendations from economists. At the same time, economic policy always redistributes resources, and it isn’t possible to achieve the optimal solutions suggested by economic theory.
