Commerce, Regulation & Trade
The Commerce, Regulation and Trade Research Group in NYU Stern's Center for Global Economy and Business supports research that concerns the three major drivers of global business: the public sector, firms and households. The specific focus is on how government regulation, firm-level actions and consumer preferences, along with other environmental factors, shape trade and commerce around the world.
The research conducted by the group has an explicitly applied emphasis, using both theoretical and empirical approaches. This group aims to foster substantive research that contributes to a comprehensive understanding of theory and measurement, as applied to the various constituents of the global economy in the areas of regulation, trade, policy, and business and household behavior. This may include faculty working in accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing, operations, and strategy.
A selection of representative research topics can be found by looking through our working paper series.
