Rodrigo Adao is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where he teaches courses in international commercial policy, international macroeconomics and trade, and workshop in macro and international economics. He also serves as a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research and as an associate editor for the Journal of International Economics.
His educational background includes a PhD in economics from MIT, as well as a BA and MA in economics from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio). Prior to joining Chicago Booth, he held positions as a research scholar at the Becker-Friedman Institute and an IES Research Fellow at Princeton University.
Adao's primary research field is international trade, with a focus on the effect of globalization on welfare and inequality. His work spans theoretical and empirical approaches to understanding trade policy, trade elasticities, and the distributional consequences of international trade. He has developed novel methodologies for analyzing trade protection, firm heterogeneity in trade models, and the spatial implications of trade shocks. His research consistently addresses how trade policies affect different segments of society, with particular attention to inequality patterns and welfare distribution across sectors and regions.
His publication record reveals a strong methodological focus, with contributions to econometric techniques for testing trade models, measuring the impact of trade shocks, and analyzing spatial economic relationships. A notable trend in his recent work involves developing more sophisticated approaches to understanding the political economy of trade protection and evaluating the accuracy of quantitative trade models against real-world data.
As a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, Adao contributes to one of the most prestigious economic research organizations in the United States. His role as associate editor for the Journal of International Economics places him at the forefront of scholarly discourse in his field.
Adao has contributed significantly to academic discourse through his research publications in top journals including the American Economic Review and The Quarterly Journal of Economics. His work has been supported by research institutions including the National Bureau of Economic Research, and he has been featured as a speaker on the Review of Economic Studies Tour.
While specific laboratory or dedicated research team information isn't provided in the available text, Adao's extensive publication record across multiple specialized areas of international trade suggests active collaboration with other economists and likely supervision of research assistants working on his various projects.
