Academic Credentials<\/b><\/p>\n

Ph.D., Economics, University of Bordeaux<\/p>\n

Biography<\/b><\/p>\n

Dr. Amel has been a faculty member at Marymount University since 2017. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Bordeaux (France). She also holds a B.S. in Economics and two master’s degrees in International Economics and Finance.<\/p>\n

Her main research interests are focused on industrial policy, cluster policy, economic growth, innovation and monetary unions. She has manipulated large datasets and has published in peer-reviewed journals. For instance, she used quantitative skills to analyze the selection process of a cluster policy through a logit model, and to capture its impact on firms’ performance in the optic\/photonic industry by combining a propensity score matching procedure and a differences-in-differences estimation. This work was published in 2019 in the peer-reviewed journal Regional Studies<\/em> and was supported by a public grant overseen by the French National Research Agency. Dr. Amel collaborates with the University of Bordeaux<\/em> on research projects related to competitiveness.<\/p>\n

Dr. Amel has been teaching economics at several institutions since 2009. She has received a Turnitin Global Innovation Award<\/em> in 2018 for her efforts to address academic integrity issues, and she offers her economic expertise to the ifo Center for Macroeconomics and Surveys<\/em>. She speaks four languages and has lived in France, England and Scotland before settling in the DC area. <\/p>\n
