The financial origins of secular stagnation Long run global effects of Chinese demographic contraction Chinese macroeconomic policy and economic performance Japanese oligopolies and economic performance The determinants of commodity price volatility – implications for Australia Demographic change in China: implications for the world economy Economic growth, macroeconomic shocks and real exchange rate realignment

Industrial Relevance

China and Japan are amongst Australia’s largest trading partners. The research on their economies bears directly on the demand for mineral ores and energy products and so is of direct interest to the state’s mining and energy industries. The work on real exchange rate realignment is also of interest to state industries since it links export prices and domestic production costs. It is also of interest in the formulation of national economic policy.

Collaborations with Other Institutions

Collaborating institutions include the Australian National University and the China Center for Economic Research at Peking University. There is also liaison with the Australian Treasury and Hong Kong Institute for Monetary Research.
