I can only give you an advice about US academic carriers in sciences. I am a
Swiss-chemist and I have done my PhD and Postdoc in the US. I have known few
Swiss who have gotten an academic job in the US, but
a) it is much harder for us than for an American and
b) you need to build up a lot of connections (so called
shmoozing around) and keep a high profile already during
your PhD (publish and go to Conferences)
c) you need to get good references from American Professors.
Of course Americans, who have performed undergrad and grad school in the US
are much better connected in the US than we Europeans would be, so it needs
more diplomacy and knowing the right people at the right time for us. I have
seen several Europeans who did not understand this point and failed because
of it, which is a pity!
Again, may be it is a little different in Economics.
Good luck with your endeavor,
Corinna
