Research
Overview
Open economy macroeconomics, macroeconomic management, emerging economies, macroeconometrics, panel data analysis
She is interested in a wide range of issues in macroeconomic management, particularly in the open economy macroeconomics of emerging economies. Her research area is focused on macroeconomic challenges faced by emerging economies from the increasing financial integration and the intensified movement of capital, in terms of size and fluctuation, across national border. The recent episode of global financial crisis and large scale monetary policy easing in the advanced economies gives a notable case on how global spillovers may complicate policy decision making in small open economies. Therefore, her research is also devoted to analyse the policy implications of these challenges on emerging countries.
