Ramses H. Abul Naga is an Honorary Professor at the University of Malaga’s Department of Economic Theory and Economic History and Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique, Faculté de Gouvernance Sciences Economiques et Sociales. Prior to this, Pr. Abul Naga was a Reader in Economics at the University of Aberdeen, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bath, and an Assistant Professor at the University of Lausanne. He has also worked as a consultant on projects for the World Health Organisation, the United Nations Division for Africa and various governmental agencies. Pr. Abul Naga’s research interests include the measurement of social welfare and inequality in relation to ordered response data as well as anthropometric data; the development of inferential tools for indices of welfare and inequality, and the utilisation of such methodologies to inform health policy in developing countries. His recent research deals with the theory and measurement of indecisiveness. He obtained both his Ph.D. and MSc in Economics from the London School of Economics, United Kingdom. He has published extensively in peer reviewed journals including the Journal of Health Economics, Oxford Economic Papers, and Economics Letters.
