I developed a methodology that estimates the vulnerability of different countries to illicit financial flows (IFF) for a variety of economic and financial relationships: trade, banking, foreign direct investment, and portfolio investment. Based on this methodology, I generated an open-source database of vulnerability scores, which has since been used by the Tax Justice Network to develop its Illicit Financial Flows Tracker.
Several key reports have been published as a result of this analysis:
- Vulnerability and exposure to illicit financial flows risk in Latin America (2021)
- Vulnerability and exposure to illicit financial flows risk in Latin America (2019)
