His current research examines how international economic agreements relate and respond to concerns about economic opportunity and inequality.

Professor Meyer has testified before the U.S. Senate Committees on Foreign Relations and the Judiciary and has served as a consultant and expert on international law issues in litigation in U.S. courts.
