Research theme, outline of project research seminar, message to prospects
The main theme of the project is to examine the growth process and prospects of East (Northeast and Southeast) Asian countries utilizing various tools offered by economic theories and empirical methodologies. Counties in East Asia are not homogeneous. Each country is at different stage of her development and each faces different issues and challenges in their growth strategy. This heterogeneity among East Asian countries offer many opportunities for interesting research. Of particular interests are industrial development, export competitiveness, participation in global supply chain, and innovation capabilities and how these relates to growth of these countries. It is my hope that through this course, students develop skills to identify challenges faced by developing countries, to be able to apply sound economic reasoning for the analysis, and to think about appropriate policies to overcome these challenges.
