معرفی
Peter Dietsch is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Université de Montréal's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, where he also directs the 'Ethics and Economy' research axis at the Centre for Research in Ethics (CRE). His dual affiliation bridges philosophical inquiry with economic policy analysis.
Dietsch's research examines economic ethics through two primary lenses: theories of distributive justice (focusing on fair surplus distribution and systemic influences on wellbeing) and applied policy analysis (evaluating institutions like tax systems and monetary policy). His work addresses tax competition, income inequality, and the normative dimensions of financial markets, with notable publications including Catching Capital: The Ethics of Tax Competition and Do Central Banks Serve the People?.
Key recognitions include his 2017 election to the Royal Society of Canada's College of New Scholars, a Humboldt Fellowship, and the 2021 Humboldt Foundation Research Prize. He serves on university committees including the Retirement Committee and undergraduate program coordination.
Dietsch has supervised 17 graduate students (5 PhD, 12 MA) since 2010, with research spanning theories of justice, economic ethics, and environmental policy. He leads major projects like 'Just Income: Towards an Economic Theory of Distributive Justice' and contributes to the $15M ATRAPP consortium on algal bloom prevention. As director of CRE's Economics Ethics axis, he coordinates interdisciplinary collaborations on corruption, market ethics, and institutional design.
