The Asian Economic Panel

Asian Economic Papers promotes high-quality analyses of the economic issues central to Asian countries and offers creative solutions to the region's current problems by drawing on the work of economists worldwide. AEP comprises selected articles and summaries of discussions from the meetings of the Asian Economic Panel. It provides a unique and useful resource to economists and informed nonspecialists concerned with specific Asian issues, particular Asian economies, and interactions between Asia and other regions.

AEP strives to anticipate developments that will affect Asian economies, encourage discussions of these trends, and explore individual country or regional responses that minimize negative repercussions on neighboring economies.

AEP is especially interested in

[eqn: CDOT]promoting discussion of financial and regulatory reform and regional cooperation;

[eqn: CDOT]identifying barriers to economic development in individual Asian countries and in the region as a whole, and finding new ways to overcome such obstacles;

[eqn: CDOT]analyzing the impacts of economic policies in social welfare to improve and ensure common prosperity and security in the region;

[eqn: CDOT]highlighting economic challenges stemming from the globalization of financial and nonfinancial markets, along with the measures needs to meet these challenges.
