group of student working
Undergraduate students Djeima Ramos and Zara Rabia are making their mark in public policy discourse, having recently coauthored articles in Policy Magazine alongside Kevin Page of the Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy.

Ramos collaborated with Page on two articles published in early 2026: Donald Trump’s Choice for Central Banker (February 2026) and Preparing the Canadian Labour Market for AI” (April 2026). These pieces examine pressing economic and policy issues, from U.S. monetary leadership to the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence presents for Canada’s workforce.

Rabia, also working with Page, coauthored How Young Tunisians are Leading Africa’s Digital Economy,” published in April 2026. The article highlights the role of youth innovation and entrepreneurship in shaping Tunisia’s growing influence in the digital sector across Africa.

These collaborations underscore the valuable contributions undergraduate students can make to high-level policy discussions. By engaging directly with contemporary global and national issues, Ramos and Rabia demonstrate the impact of student research and the importance of mentorship in advancing thoughtful, evidence-based policy analysis.
