Judith Dean
Dr. Judith M. Dean is a Lead International Economist in the Research Division of the Office of Economics, U.S. International Trade Commission, where she specializes in international trade and development research. In a series of empirical studies using Chinese data, she has explored the possibility that trade growth is beneficial for the environment, that foreign investors create pollution havens in poor countries, and, most recently, that foreign investment and production fragmentation may impact the pollution intensity of trade. She holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University. Prior to joining the ITC in 2000, she spent many years as Associate Professor of Economics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).
Her publications include Attacking Poverty in the Developing World: Christian Practitioners and Academics in Collaboration, co-edited with Julie Anderson Schaffner and Stephen L.S. Smith (Authentic and World Vision, 2005).
