Description
Economic research and development is a crucial part of our lives. It contributes to economic growth and development in Southeast Asia even though this region limits the number of its human resources and capital to produce research studies on important topics that affect the livelihood and the country’s progress. The list of challenges facing our economies and people seems to be growing all the time. While many countries had not fully recovered from the “Great Recession,” the COVID-19 pandemic had hit our societies hard, against the backdrop of rising unemployment, inequality, climate challenge, and the political stability in the region.
While the magnitude of the economic and health shocks has been amplified by the underfunding of systems over the past decades, it is concerning that voices are beginning to call for a return to austerity policies when we should instead be investing in the industrial transition, infrastructure and other social cohesion and resilience policies. Despite the effort of each government, they challenge to offer adequate tools and implement effective policies to address real problems. In that situation, they require more input from academia and stakeholders based on formulating coherent policy proposals relevant to the real world.
The avenues of economic research in Southeast Asia are being developed both qualitative and quantitative, including the issue of conceptualization, methodology, modeling, theory, as well as empirically calibrated economic policy formulation. In particular, there is an urgent need to pursue research in economic development and social inclusion.
