Prof. Terrell’s research examines the effects of globalization on workers and firms in emerging markets, with emphasis on Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe where the transition to the global market has been especially marked. One stream addresses the role labor regulations and policy play in facilitating/hindering the reallocation of labor from the old to the new economy, while protecting affected workers. Another stream focuses on the impact of foreign direct investment on domestic firms and economic growth in emerging markets. Her research has been published widely in academic journals, including the American Economic Review, Journal of Comparative Economics, Review of Economics and Statistics, and World Development.
Dr. Terrell teaches courses at the graduate level in both the Ross School and the Ford School, including Labor Markets in a Global Economy, Business Strategy in Latin America, Economic Development Policy, and Foreign Direct Investment. She is the advisor of the International Business – Business Economics Ph.D. Program at the Ross School. Dr. Terrell is a Research Fellow at IZA (Bonn,), a Research Associate at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (London), and a Visiting Researcher at the Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education (Prague).
