Welcome
Welcome to the home page for Rod Dobell, Professor Emeritus of
Public Policy at the University of Victoria.
Rod Dobell completed his PhD in economics at MIT and taught economic
theory at Harvard for five years before returning to Canada as
Professor of Political Economy at the University of Toronto.
He has served as Special Advisor (Long Range Economic Planning)
to
the Deputy Minister of Finance and as Deputy Secretary to the
Treasury Board in the Government of Canada, Director of the General
Economics
Branch at OECD, Director of Research for two Parliamentary Task
Forces, and as President of the Institute for Research on Public
Policy, 1984-1991. In 1991 he was named as the first appointment
to the Francis G. Winspear Chair for Research in Public Policy
at the University of Victoria. He now calls himself a philosophically-inclined
ecological socio-political economist - not because he knows any
answers, but because he's come to believe that's the only way
the questions can reasonably be framed. |
