Pham Hoang Van serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of Economics at Baylor University. His academic journey uniquely bridges engineering and economics, having earned mechanical engineering degrees from MIT before completing his PhD in Economics at Cornell University. His educational background includes: PhD in Economics, Cornell University (1998) SM in Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1992) SB in Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1989) Professor Van's research spans multiple critical areas including economic development, international trade, immigration policy, health economics, and child labor. He is particularly renowned for co-developing the Immigrant Climate Index with Huyen Pham at Texas A&M University School of Law, which systematically measures how state, county, and city legislation creates varying conditions for immigrants. This research revealed the significant "Trump Effect" - a dramatic increase in positive immigration legislation by subfederal entities responding to restrictive federal policies. His work often connects theoretical economics with real-world policy impacts, particularly regarding vulnerable populations and Vietnam's economic development. An analysis of his recent publications shows consistent focus on immigration policy dynamics, international trade effects (especially on Vietnam), and long-term economic development challenges. The Immigrant Climate Index represents a methodological innovation in policy measurement, while his work on the Rwandan Genocide's long-term effects on child labor demonstrates his commitment to understanding how historical traumas impact vulnerable populations across generations. Professor Van has advised more than 25 research theses and teaches advanced courses including Microeconomic Theory and Business Decisions (ECO 5315) and Game Theory (ECO 5318/4319). His research has attracted substantial funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Russell Sage Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, and the Walmart Foundation. He has held visiting positions at the University of Rouen in France and the World Bank, and served as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
