Torsten Søchting Jaccard

Welcome to my website! I am an Assistant Professor at the Vancouver School of Economics, University of British Columbia. Previously I was the International Economics Postdoctoral Fellow at Dartmouth College, and I completed a PhD in Economics at the University of Toronto in 2022.

My research is primarily in international trade, with a particular focus on understanding demand for imported goods and the consumer benefits of globalization.

I am originally from New Westminster, British Columbia, and I received my undergraduate degree from the University of British Columbia studying Chemical and Biological Engineering. I worked at Navius Research, Inc., an energy-economy policy modeling firm, before attending the University of Toronto to complete a Masters and PhD in Economics.

My CV is available here.
