Alan K. Fox
Welcome! I received my Ph.D. in economics from the University
of Michigan in 2000. My work focuses on international trade, with an
emphasis on computable general equilibrium modeling and climate change
and trade.
In October 2000, I joined the Research Division, Office of
Economics, of the U.S. International
Trade Commission.
