About

Emily Blanchard is an Associate Professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, a Research Fellow with the Center for Economic Policy Research, and a member of the CES Ifo Research Network.  Starting January 2022, she will be on academic leave to serve as Chief Economist of the US Department of State, after which she plans to return to Tuck.

Professor Blanchard's research lies at the intersection of international economics and public policy.  She has written extensively on how foreign investment and global value chains are changing the role of trade agreements in the 21st century, and how globalization and education shape political outcomes and the distribution of income within and across countries.  Her research is published in leading journals, including the Review of Economic Studies, Journal of International Economics, Review of Economics and Statistics, and the World Trade Review.   She has partnered with leading institutions including the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the UN, and the IMF, to bring research to practice; she currently serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of International Economics, Review of World Economics, Economics and Politics, and the World Trade Review; and she is former Chair and a Founding Board member for the national non-partisan, non-profit National Economic Education Delegation.

An award-winning teacher, Blanchard offers the core course Global Economics for Managers, a research to practice seminar on firms and international economic policy, and the elective course Cooperation and Competition in the 21st century Global Economy.  She has co-led experiential courses on regional economic development in Mississippi and economic and political change in Vietnam.  Prior to joining the Tuck faculty, she served as an assistant professor of economics at the University of Virginia. She graduated with honors in Economics from Wellesley College and earned MSc. and Ph.D. degrees in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
