Professor Crowley's research focuses on international trade and trade policy, with particular expertise in trade agreements, trade remedies, currency invoicing, and the economic impacts of Brexit. Her work examines how trade policy uncertainty affects firm behavior, how trade agreements shape market competition, and how exchange rate movements influence trade flows. She has made significant contributions to understanding pricing-to-market dynamics, the role of dominant currencies in trade, and the challenges facing the global trading system, frequently using detailed firm-level data in her empirical analyses.
Analysis of Professor Crowley's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on the intersection of trade policy and firm behavior. Her work demonstrates how trade policy uncertainty influences market entry decisions, how trade agreements create competitive effects across markets, and how currency invoicing patterns respond to major economic events like Brexit. Her research combines rigorous empirical methods with deep policy relevance, often using detailed firm-level data to examine how international trade operates in practice, with particular attention to the impacts of trade disputes, tariff threats, and exchange rate fluctuations.
Professor Crowley has received significant recognition for her work, including being elected as a Research Fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) in 2016. She has secured multiple research grants, including a UK in a Changing Europe Fellowship from the Economic and Social Research Council (2019-2022) and a Data Impact Fellowship from JISC (2017). She also received an ESRC grant for research on 'The impact of trade policy and exchange rate shocks on trade' (2017-2018).
Professor Crowley has supervised several PhD students, including Chuan-Han Cheng (International Macroeconomics, Trade, and Monetary Policy) and Yi (Amanda) Wang (International Trade, Innovation, Productivity), and advised others such as Deniz Atalar (Inter-Sectoral Trade Linkages in Aggregate Fluctuation) and Ana Lleo-Bono (Behavioral, Experimental, and Organizational Economics).
