It's possible you're thinking of:
* David Bierens de Haan: This is a Dutch economist who has written works on monetary economics, international finance, and econometrics.
* Another author with a similar name: It's always possible there's an author out there with a name that's slightly different from what you remember.
To help me find the right author, could you tell me more about:
* The genre of the book you're looking for? (e.g., fiction, non-fiction, economics, etc.)
* Any other information you remember about the book or the author? (e.g., title, publication date, country of origin, etc.)
With more information, I can help you find the author and their works!
