Mary E. Lovely is Associate Professor of Economics at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, where she combines interests in international economics and public economics. Her current research projects examine the determinants of foreign direct investment flows to Chinese provinces and their relation to provincial differences in environmental policy and labor conditions. She has recently completed work on the geographic concentration of exporting firms and the welfare effects of free-trade areas. Dr. Lovely’s earlier work emphasizes the income and distributional effects of policies designed to foster industries that provide positive spillovers to the domestic economy. She has written on the measurement of labor market effects of increased international trade and on the welfare effects of smuggling. She has studied the optimal design of commodity taxes when consumers cross borders to shop in lower‑taxing jurisdictions as well as the benefits and costs of restricting this activity. Dr. Lovely earned her Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She holds a master’s degree in City and Regional Planning from Harvard University. She has taught at Syracuse University since 1988. Dr. Lovely holds the title of Maxwell Professor of Teaching Excellence for 2004-2007. Currently, she directs the Economics Department's Program of Distinction, which is the gateway for students preparing an undergraduate thesis in Economics. Since her training as a Pew Faculty Fellow at Harvard University, Professor Lovely has been a practitioner of the case method of teaching. She has written or supervised the creation of teaching cases in international affairs, education policy, and citizenship. She received the Economics Department Undergraduate Teaching Award in 1996 and served as Economics Undergraduate Director from 1997 to 2000. She currently serves as the Economics Honors advisor.
