The Tuck Knowledge in Practice podcast is produced by the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. The podcast features interviews with Tuck faculty about their research and teaching, and the story behind their curiosity.
Tuck professor and trade economist Emily Blanchard served as the chief economist at the U.S. Department of State from January 2022 to November 2023. In this episode, Blanchard recounts her motivation for public service, what life was like as a top official in the State Department, how that experience changed her, and what she’s excited to work on now that she’s back at Tuck.
