International Trade and Investment Research

Scroll down for list of experts

Australia sits in a unique position to contribute to, and influence, international trade and investment policy, practices and norms. As a middle-income economy, an important trader in resources, agriculture and services and a major investment source and destination, our views carry weight. Australia was active in the creation of the international institutions which underpin international trade and investment. A number of institutions and scholars across Australia continue to undertake the critical research needed to inform business, policy and consumer decisions. ACITI showcases these individuals and institutions and their work to promote debate and collaboration.

ACITI study on research and teaching on ITI in Australia
ACITI is undertaking a study into the great work done in Australia's universities researching and teaching on international trade and investment (ITI) topics. The study surveys all of Australia's universities to identify academics undertaking research on ITI topics and courses taught on these topics. The annual study will provide a source of information for showcasing current research, promoting discussion and debate, and identifying opportunities for new research and teaching.

If you are an academic working on international trade and investment-related questions, our team of amazing interns will be in touch in September 2023 with our short survey. Thank you for your support in advance!
