Early Life
Pedro Sampaio Malan was born in 1943 in Petropolis, a town in honor of Dom Pedro II to the north of Rio de Janeiro. He was educated in a Jesuit school before studying electrical engineering at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro.
While working as a research associate at Rio's Institute of Applied Economic Research he first met the U.S. economics teacher Albert Fishlow, who would in 1973 be his adviser for his doctorate in economics from the University of California at Berkeley. His thesis was Brazil's Place in the International Economy.
Malan continued to live in the USA working for various multilateral agencies until 1993.
