Mary E. Lovely
is
Professor of Economics at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public
Affairs, where she combines interests in international economics and public
economics. She is co-editor of the
China Economic Review. Her current research
projects investigate the pollution content of Chinese exports, the implications
of China's industrial restructuring, and the nature of Chinese trade flows. She has
recently completed work on the role of provincial differences in environmental
policy and labor conditions in directing foreign direct investment flows to
Chinese provinces. Dr. Lovely’s
earlier work considered the measurement of labor market effects of increased
international trade, the distributional effects of industrial policy,
the geographic concentration of exporting firms, and 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.
