Peter K. Schott, newly named as the Juan Trippe Professor of International Economics, focuses his research on how firms and workers respond to globalization.

Schott has contributed numerous articles, chapters, and reviews to academic journals and general media publications, including the Harvard Business Review, The Economist, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. He has served as associate editor of the American Economic Review and as a member of the National Science Foundation Review Panel.
Schott has been honored twice with SOM’s Teaching Award, in the Executive M.B.A. Program and the Full-Time M.B.A. Program. His other honors include the Emerald Management Reviews Citations of Excellence Award and the Excellence in Refereeing Award from the American Economic Review. He is the recipient of two research grants from the National Science Foundation.
