I've done all my curriculum in France (Rouen & Marseille), but i don't
see any problem working abroad...

jicky-ga:

With that type of curriculum vitae behind you, you will most likely
need to focus on research positions in either the public or private
sector. Since you already have information regarding research in the
academic and public sector (ie. universities and government
organizations), then other areas that you will want to investigate
include:

- private economic think tanks such as this one: http://www.conferenceboard.ca/

- global financial institutions that provide loans to government
organizations (including The World Bank itself);

- national monetary authorities responsible for setting economic policy;

- research departments of large private equity firms that invest globally


Generally, your target job would be to create and refine the
econometric models used by these organizations to monitor global
trends and distill economic policy to use in directing their
activities.

It also depends on whether you'll deal with macro- (time-series, VAR
models, etc.) or microeconometrics (panel data, limited dependent
variable models, etc.): macroeconomists can find highly paid jobs in
finance/consulting, microeconomists can find jobs in public or private
economic research institutes, statistical offices, etc. The most
natural career prospect for both macro- and microeconometrics PhDs
would of course be research and teaching in academia.
