Daniel Bernhofen is a Professor at the School of International Service (SIS) at American University, where he has taught since Fall 2013. His expertise centers on international economics, with extensive research in theoretical, empirical, and historical dimensions of global trade. Prior to AU, he served as Professor of International Economics and Director of the Globalisation and Economic Policy Research Centre at the University of Nottingham, and held visiting positions at Brandeis University, Tufts University, University of Munich, University of Bordeaux, University of Tokyo, and Ritsumeikan University.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Economics from the Maxwell School, Syracuse University
- MS in Mathematics from Syracuse University
- Diplom Wirtschafsmathematik from the University of Ulm, Germany
Bernhofen's research spans international trade theory, global economic history, and applied microeconomics, with particular focus on testing foundational trade models using historical data and micro-level evidence. His work frequently examines technological impacts on trade (e.g., container revolution), comparative advantage mechanisms, and historical trade patterns, often utilizing Japanese economic data as a key case study.
His publication record reveals consistent investigation into trade theory foundations, with recurring themes including empirical validation of classical models (Ricardo, Heckscher-Ohlin), historical trade transformations, and micro-data applications. Collaborative work with John C. Brown forms a significant thread across his research, particularly in comparative advantage studies and historical trade analysis.
Professor Bernhofen's research has received substantial funding from the National Science Foundation, Leverhulme Trust, British Academy, and Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, enabling rigorous empirical investigations into international trade phenomena.
He previously directed the Globalisation and Economic Policy Research Centre at the University of Nottingham, leading a multidisciplinary team focused on trade policy analysis and globalization impacts before joining American University.
