Our research on trade and labor examines how international trade,
technological competition, and geopolitical tensions affect human
capital formation, educational choices, labor-market outcomes,
and the allocation of talent.

A particular focus is on how changes in the international economic
environment influence individual education decisions and the supply
of skills. This research connects international trade with labor
economics, education, and technological change.
