Academic interests

[edit]

While Clem Tisdell was commonly recognised as an ecological economist,[2] his research interests were diverse. His contribution to the literature on the environment, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development notwithstanding, his research and writing encompassed various areas that included 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.[3]

Clem Tisdell was among the top three most prolific economists in Australia.[4][5] Apart from academic articles, he authored microeconomics textbooks[6] and monographs on the economics of environmental conservation. Under the RePEc project (Research Papers in Economics), Tisdell was ranked among the top 5% of all registered economic authors.[7] In terms of the 'number of distinct works' produced, RePEc ranked him No. 11 globally.[8]
