M. Scott Taylor

After completing his postdoctoral fellowship, Taylor held academic positions at the University of British Columbia (1992–1998) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1998–2004), before returning to the University of Calgary. During his career, Taylor has also been a visiting scholar at Princeton University (1991, 2003) and a scholar of the Economic Growth Program at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (1995–1998).

Taylor's research focuses on the interaction of international markets, economic growth and environmental outcomes. He studies how international trade and economic growth affects pollution across countries. Other important work connects the health of biological resources such as the bison respond to the pressures brought about by globalization.^[6] He has investigated the role natural resource collapses have played in the rise and fall of prehistoric societies, such as Easter Island,^[7] how growth and trade jointly determine environmental outcomes, and how access to international markets affects research and development and long run growth. His book (co-authored with Brian Copeland) Trade and the Environment: Theory and Evidence,^[8] was published by Princeton University Press in 2003^[9] as part of the Princeton Series in International Economics and won the 2004 Douglas Purvis Memorial Prize^[10] for its contribution to Canadian Economic Policy.

Taylor is an associate editor of the Journal of International Economics, on the Board of Directors of the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics.
