[edit] 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 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.
Clem Tisdell is a prolific author, and is among the most published economists in Australia.[2] Apart from his research writings, he has authored widely-used microeconomics textbooks [3] and monographs on the economics of environmental conservation. A comprehensive account of his 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).
