Essays on Trade Policy, Innovation and Productivity Growth

My research will explore how various trade policies—such as tariffs, quotas,  trade agreements and innovation activities influence firm-level and national economic outcomes. The goal could be to understand the direct and indirect effects of these policies on industries, especially those that are export-oriented or heavily rely on imported inputs.
