Dr Frédéric-Guillaume Schneider

Gulf Economist  ·  Policy Analyst  ·  Senior Fellow, MECGA

I specialise in Gulf and MENA economic policy — diversification strategy, labour markets, industrial policy, and the energy transition. I produce research for leading think-tanks, advise government institutions in the UAE and Qatar. My analysis appears in the BBC, Al Jazeera, Washington Post, and The National.

I hold a doctorate from the University of Zurich and have held research positions at UC Berkeley, Yale, and Cambridge. My academic work applies experimental and behavioural methods to questions of cooperation, trust, and labour market outcomes.
