The Cornell S.C. Johnson College of Business Emerging Markets Theme, in collaboration with China Institute for Economic Research (CICER), the Cornell China Center, and the Emerging Markets Institute, brings together scholars to provide thought leadership on the role of emerging markets – and emerging market multinationals – in the global economy.

Scott Rozelle, the Helen F. Farnsworth Senior Fellow and the co-director of the Rural Education Action Program in the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University, will be visiting Cornell and presenting for the Cornell Emerging Markets Theme on March 24, 2023 (Friday), 4:30-6:00 p.m. at 131 Sage Hall. He is also one of the most prominent Dyson alumni!

Rozelle also serves on the editorial boards of Economic Development and Cultural ChangeAgricultural Economics, the Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, and the China Economic Review.
