Professor Caliendo’s research is focused on understanding and quantifying the economic effects of international trade and migration. His work follows three main strands. The first strand focuses on the determinants of the trade and welfare effects of commercial and migration policy. Of particular interest to him are the propagation effects, via input-output linkages, across spatially distinct labor markets. The second examines how a firm’s growth and how foreign trade competition affect a firm’s organizational structure, the wage structure inside a firm, and a firm’s productivity. The third strand deals with understanding the macroeconomics effects of international trade and growth.

Professor Caliendo joined Yale SOM in 2011. Before that, he was a Visiting Research Fellow at the International Economic Section, Department of Economics of Princeton University and a Lecturer in Economics at the University of Chicago. He received two Uruguayan National Prizes in Economics (Premio Raúl Trajtenberg and ACADECO).
