We are extremely pleased to announce the hiring of a new GTAP Director. As of January 1, 2025, Dr. Channing Arndt, currently Senior Director at IFPRI, will assume the position of Research Professor and Director of the Center for Global Trade Analysis in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University.
Channing brings an outstanding background to this position. Having gained experience with the Center as a PhD student, and subsequently serving as a faculty member in Agricultural Economics at Purdue University, where he rose to the rank of full Professor, he spent five years in residence with the Ministry of Planning and Development in Mozambique. Channing continued his focus on Development as a Professor at the University of Copenhagen and Senior Research Fellow with the World Institute for Development Economics Research. In 2017, Channing joined IFPRI as Senior Research Fellow and quickly moved into leadership, becoming Division Director and then Senior Director, a position which he has held since 2022.
With this background and vast experience in academia, government and policy research, Channing is well-positioned to lead the Center as we move into our 34th year. Please join us in welcoming him on his return to the Center for Global Trade Analysis!
