He has written extensively on international trade. He is well known for his work on:
- the relationship between trade and growth;
- the relationship between economic growth and the environment, notably a pair of widely-cited papers which initiated a voluminous literature on the so-called “Environmental Kuznets Curve”;
- the political forces that shape modern trade politics (special interest politics, interest groups and trade policy) as well as “trade in tasks” theory which explores the wage effects of the globalization of production.
Professor Grossman’s most recent research examines whether government policy should promote safety and resilience in global supply chains.
Professor Grossman has received numerous professional honors and awards including the Onassis Prize in International Trade (Onassis Foundation, Cass Business School and the City of London), the Harry G. Johnson Prize (Canadian Economics Association), the Bernard-Harms Prize (Kiel Institute for the World Economy) and fellowships from the Alfred P.

He holds Honorary Doctorates from the University of St. Gallen and the University of Minho.
