Overview

Gail Hanson is affiliated with the University of California, Riverside in the United States. Their body of research spans multiple fields, focusing primarily on economics and social sciences, with substantial work in subfields such as sociology and political science, economics and econometrics, general economics, demography, and transportation.

The main areas of study covered by their research include:

  • Global trade and economics
  • Migration and labor dynamics
  • Migration, ethnicity, and economy
  • Economic growth and productivity
  • Labor market dynamics and wage inequality
  • Diaspora, migration, transnational identity
  • Economic zones and regional development

Gail Hanson has contributed to a range of publications, often collaborating with frequent co-authors in their field. Notable co-authors include David Autor, David Dorn, Amit Khandelwal, Chen Liu, and Pia M. Orrenius.

Their publications have appeared predominantly in the following venues:

  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • American Economic Review Insights
  • American Economic Review
  • Brookings Papers on Economic Activity
  • Econometrica

Recent notable papers include:

  • "Importing Political Polarization? The Electoral Consequences of Rising Trade Exposure," 2020, published in American Economic Review
