Russell Hillberry studies international trade, focusing on how geography, borders, and customs policies shape trade patterns and costs. His work often uses quantitative trade models (like the 'gravity model' used to predict trade flows between countries) to examine topics such as customs reform, border inspections, trade agreements, and shipping restrictions. Much of his research has practical policy relevance, including studies conducted with or for organizations like the World Bank.
