About Me::
- Welcome to my web page. Most of my academic work investigates the links between international trade, economic growth and the environment. My work uses both theory and data to answer what I hope are important real world questions. Although I was originally trained as an international trade economist, did only theory and focussed on growth issues, I now attempt to do empirical work and have dabbled in both history and archaeology. I have been fortunate to have a series of great co-authors, and a number of really excellent teachers.
Bio:
- M. Scott Taylor is the Canada Research Chair in International, Energy and Environmental Economics at the University of Calgary, Alberta. He is also a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Taylor has a PhD (1991) from Queens University in Kingston Ontario and a BA and MA from the University of Calgary. Taylor is currently on the board of the Journal of Economic Literature, and an Associate Editor for the Journal of International Economics. He is a former Co-Editor (1999-2000) and member of the Editorial Council of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (2000-2005), and served on the Editorial Board of the American Economic Review (1999-2005). Taylor’s research focuses on the interaction of international markets and environmental outcomes. He has investigated the role of international markets in affecting strategic interaction across countries, the role world price changes play in altering incentives, and the interaction between goods and permit trade. In the area of natural resources, he has investigated how property rights regimes affect trade flows, how trade and technology affects the incentives to protect natural resources, and how natural resource over use can lead to the collapse of civilizations. His publications have appeared in the American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Review of Economic Studies, International Economic Review, Journal of International Economics, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Canadian Journal of Economics, and Resource and Energy Economics. In 2003 his book International Trade and the Environment: Theory and Evidence (joint with Brian Copeland) was published by Princeton University Press.
