Dr. David Cushman, professor and chair of ¾¨Ó㴫ý's Department of Economics and Business, is co-author of "Exchange Rate Regimes and FDI Flows to Developing Countries" recently published in the Review of International Economics.
Co-written with Andrew Abbott of the University of Hull (England) and Glauco De Vita of Oxford Brookes University (England), the paper presents evidence that developing countries that adopt a fixed exchange rate attract more investment from other countries than do developing countries with a flexible exchange rate. Consequently, they may grow faster. The work was the result of Cushman's non-resident visiting position at Oxford Brookes University.
Cushman, who holds the Captain William McKee Chair of Economics and Business, has been with ¾¨Ó㴫ý since 2005. He earned an undergraduate degree from Stetson University and master's degree and Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University.
