HANOVER, N.H.—Andrew Bernard, Jack Byrne Professor of International Economics at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, has been appointed director of Tuck's Center for International Business. The center, founded in 1995, focuses on global opportunities and problems facing firms and the skills needed to succeed in the global economy. Students, scholars, and business professionals use the center as a primary resource.
Bernard has been a member of the Tuck faculty since 1999, and is internationally renowned for his research in international trade and investment and firm responses to globalization. He is a research associate for the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Institute for Fiscal Studies in London, and the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics. His research has been published in top academic journals and featured extensively in major broadcast and print media.
Tuck Dean Paul Danos, who made the appointment, said, "Professor Bernard will be a tremendous asset to the center. As a highly respected researcher and teacher, he is perfectly positioned to both increase the center's research output and augment its student-facing programs. The Center for International Business has played a key role in the globalization of the Tuck experience in recent years and I am confident that Professor Bernard will continue this momentum going forward."
Bernard has already set aggressive goals for the center, focused on bringing more international activity to Tuck and expanding the school's activities around the world. He believes it is vital for students and business professionals to view the world from different perspectives and explore critical business issues in a global context.
"Over the next few years we will work to bring more international visitors to Tuck, and increase opportunities for Tuck students to travel overseas. We will also build strong relationships with a wide range of business people and scholars from around the world who have global business expertise," said Bernard. "We will leverage Tuck's intimate scale to provide our students with personalized educational opportunities so that they can become global business leaders able to meet the challenges ahead."
