Bio: Teresa Cyrus is an assistant professor in the Economics Department at Dalhousie University. She received her Ph.D. in 1997 from the University of California, Berkeley, where her dissertation focused on the relationship between trade and growth and on the effect of borders on trade. Since arriving at Dalhousie, her research has concentrated on social issues. With Lars Osberg, she has studied the effect of trade on poverty in Canada and the United States, finding that exports reduce poverty, but imports raise it. With Lori Curtis, she has studied the effect of trade on health outcomes, showing that higher trade is associated with better health outcomes in a range of OECD countries. She is currently studying the impact of trade liberalization on women's relative wages in Vietnam.
