INTERNATIONAL TRADE AT SYRACUSE
UNIVERSITY
Syracuse University
has a strong commitment to international studies, including
international trade and development. Our trade faculty are known
for both empirical as well as theoretical research. Faculty
members have published in major general journals like the
American Economic Review and the Review of Economics and
Statistics and in the top field journal, the Journal of
International Economics. They have also published in the
Journal of Public Economics and the Journal of
Development Economics, which are top field journals in the
related fields of Public Economics and Development Economics.
One faculty member in the trade group is a Research Associate
and another a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of
Economic Research. A recent ranking of Ph.D. programs in
economics (available at
www.econphd.net) places the Syracuse trade group 29th
in the U.S. and 39th in the world.
Faculty
interest spans a broad spectrum within the field of
international trade: trade and wages, foreign direct investment,
trade and environment and the political economy of trade policy.
This breadth enables us to offer a two-course sequence in
International Trade at the Ph.D. level, and numerous courses at
the masters and undergraduate level.
The trade
group offers a
Trade, Development and Political Economy Workshop, which
brings external speakers to campus for seminars and meetings
with faculty and students.
We
offer an active schedule of speakers, with presentations by some
of the most productive and informative scholars in the entire
country. In the workshop,
speakers present their research
on theoretical and empirical issues related to international
trade, development, and topics at the intersection of economics
and political science.
Recent
Ph.D. graduates of our program with dissertations in the trade
area have obtained positions at Clark University, Drexel
University, University of Toronto, West Virginia University,
SUNY-Fredonia, private companies and foreign universities.
