His main areas of study were public finance and urban problems, and he was internationally known as an expert on taxation.

Bradford also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy, Department of the Treasury from 1975 to 1976 and as a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisors from 1991 to 1993.
