William Taylor

"ISCR has been the ideal place for me to conduct my research. Working in an open environment with likeminded, intelligent individuals has really helped me flourish both academically and as a person. Being a part of ISCR also allows you to work on many of the interesting projects that the Institute undertakes. This really helps broaden your horizons as you work in areas outside your specific area of interest. Through my work I have added International Trade to my repertoire of skills, a far cry from my specialist areas of Finance and Industrial Organization!" W. Taylor
