Brief Biography

Raymond Robertson received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Texas at Austin. His dissertation and subsequent research focus on the effects of globalization on workers. Prior to receiving his Ph. D., he attended and graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Following graduation from Trinity, he spent a year on a Fulbright grant in Mexico City studying the effects of NAFTA. A Social Science Research Council (SSRC) fellowship supported his dissertation field research in Mexico City.  Between receiving his Ph.D. and coming to Macalester, he taught at the Maxwell School at Syracuse University. As an assistant professor, he was the top-ranked liberal arts assistant professor in economics for publishing, and his early research was supported by a three-year Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) grant from the National Science Foundation.  He has published in the American Economic Review, the Review of Economics and Statistics, World Economy, the Journal of International Economics, and other journals.  His current research is supported by the World Bank, the Mellon Foundation, and the Inter-American Development Bank.
