Short Bio
I am Principal Economist, Head of the Strategic Research Unit, and Director of Research of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Institute, in Central and West Asia Department of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Manila, Philippines. Previously, I was Economist, Senior Economist and Principal Economist in the Macroeconomics and Finance Research Division of the Economics and Research Department. I joined ADB in 1996. I held academic positions with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong, PRC) during 1995-1996, and with the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, USA), during 1999-2002 (while I was on leave from ADB).
I am a
Research Associate at the
Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis (CAMA),
Australian National University, College of Business and Economics; at the
Centre of Full Employment and Equity (CofFEE)University
of Newcastle (Australia); the
Cambridge Centre
for Economic & Public Policy,
University
of Cambridge;
and the Center for Full
Employment and Price Stability (CFEPS),
University of Missouri-Kansas City. I am a member of the
Editorial Boards of
Metroeconomica,
and of Journal of Employment and Public Policy. I undertook my
undergraduate studies in Spain. I hold Master's
degrees from the International University of
Japan and from the University of Pennsylvania,
and also hold a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.
I
work on issues relating to long-run growth in Asia,
productivity and technological progress. My research interests spread across
areas such as growth (especially the debate on the sources of growth in East
Asia), the functional distribution of income, business cycles, the path of
profit rates, and structural change. I am also working on a project on
industrialization and structural change in Central Asia.
I
have co-authored and co-edited a book entitled Labor Markets in Asia:
Issues and Perspectives (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006). This book was selected
in 2006 by Princeton University as one of the
Noteworthy Books in Industrial Relations
and Labor Economics. In 2009 I published Inclusive Growth, Full
Employment and Structural Change. Implications and Policies for Developing
Asia (Anthem Press, 2009). And I am working on a book on the theoretical
foundations of the aggregate production function
and its implications for empirical analyses, entitled The Aggregate
Production Function and the Measurement of Technical Change: A Critique and
Evaluation.
I
have published my work in the Cambridge Journal of Economics,
Journal of Comparative Economics, Eastern
Economic Journal, Metroeconomica, Journal of Income
Distribution, International Review of Applied Economics, Journal
of Development Studies, World Development,
Oxford Development Studies, among others.
