Studies On The Singapore Economy

Though there are several books on the Singapore economy, very few focus on the time series-based investigations. This book tries to address that gap and attempts to add to what we know from studies in the descriptive tradition. It is a compendium of 20 academic studies on the Singapore economy which have appeared previously as journal papers, book chapters, and feature articles. The papers share a common methodology of social scientific enquiry viz., time series econometrics. The book is divided into three macroeconomy, business cycles and forecasting. Each part brings together empirical papers that deal with particular aspects of these related fields. The book will be of interest to economists, policy-makers and students seeking quantitatively informed understanding of the Singapore economy.
