Message

I have conducted researches on developing economies by using macroeconomic tools. Nonetheless, for the better understanding on developing economies, economic theory is not sufficient. I, myself, learned a lot from experiences of visiting and living in developing countries. I hope our understanding on the developing economies will become balanced one, by utilizing all of theory, data, and field observation.
