Vega Economics is proud to feature Dr. Michael Sposi, a leading expert on U.S. tariff policies and their impact on global trade and economic growth. As debates over tariffs and supply chain dynamics continue to shape markets, Dr. Sposi’s research provides valuable insight into how these forces influence both regional and global economies.

Dr. Sposi is Associate Professor of Economics and Director of Doctoral Studies at Southern Methodist University, where he teaches macroeconomics and international economics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. His research examines the determinants of global structural change patterns, the macroeconomic implications of demographic change, the regional and aggregate implications of U.S. tariff changes, global supply chains, and dynamic gains from trade. 

Before joining SMU, Dr. Sposi served as an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, conducting research and policy analysis on international economic developments. He has also served as a visiting scholar at, and consultant to, various universities inside and outside the U.S., as well as to central banks and international policy organizations
