Academic background

Clem Tisdell obtained his bachelor degree in Commerce (majoring in Economics) from the University of New South Wales in 1961 and his doctorate in Economics from the Australian National University in 1964. During his professorship he has concurrently occupied various academic offices: acting head of the Department of Economics at the Australian National University, dean of the Faculty of Economics and Commerce at the University of Newcastle, deputy director of the School of Marine Sciences and head of the Department of the School of Economics at the University of Queensland.

Academic interests

While Clem Tisdell is commonly recognised as an ecological economist,[1] his research interests are diverse. His contribution to the literature on the environment, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development notwithstanding, his research and writing encompass various areas that include poverty, trade and globalisation, economic development, welfare economics, tourism, natural resources, the economics and socioeconomics of China and India, socioeconomic gender issues, economic theory (e.g., bounded rationality and economic evolution) and the history of economic thought.[2]

Clem Tisdell is among the top three most prolific economists in Australia.[3][4] Apart from academic articles, he has authored microeconomics textbooks[5] and monographs on the economics of environmental conservation. Under the RePEc project (Research Papers in Economics), Tisdell is ranked among the top 5% of all registered economic authors.[6] In terms of the 'number of distinct works' produced, RePEc ranks him #11 globally.[7]

A comprehensive account of Tisdell's body of work can be found at both his University of Queensland webpage and the University of Queensland Library's online catalogue (see external links below).
