Gene M. GROSSMAN is the Jacob Viner Professor of International Economics in the Department of Economics and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. He is also a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Economic Growth, the Review of International Economics, the German Economic Review, and several other professional journals.
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. Sloan Foundation and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. He was elected a Fellow of the Econometric Society, of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Life Member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He holds Honorary Doctorates from the University of St. Gallen and the University of Minho. Professor Grossman served a three-year term on the Executive Committee of the American Economic Association.
