At secondary school, Paul Hallwood discovered he had an aptitude for economics--a subject he found asked interesting questions about how society operates. After completing a BS and MS in economics at the University of Hull in Yorkshire, England, followed by a PhD. at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, he was on his way to becoming a distinguished economist. In 1988, Professor Hallwood moved to the United States and began asking his own interesting questions about economics to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students at the University of Connecticut.

    Professor Hallwood, a native of northwest England, has earned an international reputation as a forward-thinking economist. He has published seven books, including co-authoring International Money and Finance, a monograph-textbook that is required reading for advanced undergraduate through PhD. level students of business, economics, and finance at top universities in the U.S. and around the world. Hallwood’s work has been widely cited in numerous prestigious international journals, and he is consulted by the news media (including the BBC and The Times of London) for his expertise on financial matters.

    As a valued member of the UConn faculty, Professor Hallwood teaches a full range of economics courses at the Avery Point and Storrs campuses, offering everything from introductory Principles of Economics, to complex graduate level instruction in Advanced International Finance. The enthusiastic father of three enjoys the challenge of exploring the questions that can be answered by economics with students from a wide range of majors. In addition to his ongoing research in the field of international economics, he is currently developing a new course on the economics of the global economy from an American perspective, to be offered as part of UConn’s American Studies degree program. He is also at work on Rights, Rents, and Resources: A Course in the Economics of the Oceans, a monograph used in conjunction with a course he developed as a core component of Avery Point’s Maritime Studies and Coastal Studies programs. As he enters his fourth decade as a teacher and renowned economist, Professor Paul Hallwood clearly still finds himself just as intrigued by the questions economists ask as he was as a student.
