Taun Nicholaus Toay is a Research Analyst at the Levy Economics Institute, as well as the Executive Assistant to the Executive Vice President of Bard College. At the Institute, Toay works largely on issues of poverty, pro-poor growth and macroeconomic modeling. Toay was a Fulbright Scholar to Greece from 2005-2006. While in Greece, Toay studied the inflationary impact of conversion to the euro, an issue of political polarization at the time. Toay joined the Institute early in 2007 for a project that examined the impacts of public employment and the disproportionate effects of poverty on women in South Africa and India. Upon completion of this work for the UNDP, Toay accepted his current role in the administration of Bard College. He is currently working toward his Ph.D. at the New School for Social Research in Manhattan. His notable publications include: "From Unpaid to Paid Care Work: The Macroeconomic Implications of HIV and AIDS on Women's Time-Tax Burdens," coauthored with R. Antonopoulos in The Fourth Wave: Violence, Gender, Culture & HIV in the 21st Century, eds. Nguyen, V.K. and J.F. Klot, UNESCO/SSRC, forthcoming; and "Expensive Living: The Greek Experience under the Euro," co-authored with T. Pelagidis, Intereconomics: Review of European Economic Policy (42:3), 2007. Toay resides in rural New York.
