Education:

• Ph.D. in Economics, Yale University, 1996

Research Interests:

Professor Bergin specializes in International Macroeconomics, with core expertise in international trade dynamics, monetary policy transmission in open economies, and exchange rate volatility. His work investigates how financial frictions affect trade patterns, the macroeconomic implications of tariff policies, and the relationship between currency undervaluation and comparative advantage. He employs both theoretical DSGE modeling and empirical analysis to address critical questions in global economic stability.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on trade-policy interactions with monetary frameworks, particularly regarding tariff shocks and sectoral adjustments. His research consistently bridges theoretical macroeconomics with practical policy implications, demonstrating how capital account policies influence growth trajectories and how structural economic changes affect trade volatility. This thematic continuity underscores his contribution to understanding globalization's evolving macroeconomic dimensions.
