Martin will speak on trade policy options for developing countries and the use of trade policy to fight poverty. He has published extensively on such topics as the World Trade Organization and economic development as well as agricultural trade reform. His recent work examines how such factors as changes in the prices of staple foods or improvements in agricultural technology can have an impact on poverty in low-income countries. Martin teaches frequently in World Bank training courses and is manager of a number of large World Bank research projects. He obtained his Masters and Ph.D. degrees from Iowa State University.
