Stephen Redding's research interests include international trade, economic geography, and productivity growth. Recent work has been concerned with heterogeneous firms and comparative advantage, multi-product firms, and the contribution of agglomeration forces to the spatial distribution of economic activity.

He is director of the NBER's International Trade and Investment Program, an international re-search associate of the London School of Economics' Centre for Economic Performance, and a research fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research.

Prior to joining the Princeton faculty, Redding was a professor in economics at the London School of Economics and the Yale School of Management. He was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize Fellowship during 2001–04 for his research on international trade and economic growth and a Global Economic Affairs Prize from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy in 2008. He was a Peter Kenen Fellow in International Economics at Princeton University during 2005–06, a visiting associate professor at Harvard University during fall 2007, and the Wesley Clair Mitchell Visiting Professor at Columbia University from 2016–17.
