Trade, Development & Political Economy Workshop

Welcome to Devashish Mitra's homepage!

I am Professor of Economics and Gerald B. and Daphna Cramer Professor of Global Affairs at the Maxwell School, Syracuse University. I am currently also the Chair of the Economics Department at Syracuse University.

I am Coeditor, Economics and Politics , Associate Editor, Journal of International Economics and Associate Editor, International Journal of Business and Economics.

My research and teaching interests are in International Trade, Political Economy and Development Economics. More specifically, I have worked on the role of politics in general and of interest groups in particular in the determination of trade policy; and on the impact of trade on productivity growth and labor market outcomes. I am currently working on trade and inequality (and poverty), issues relating to unilateralism versus reciprocity in freeing international trade. the labor-market impact of the Indian trade reforms, and on outsourcing/offshoring. My work has been published in well-known journals like the American Economic Review, the Review of Economics & Statistics, the Journal of International Economics and the Journal of Development Economics.
