Recap
The Asia edition convened in Tokyo at the World Bank Group's Institute for Economic Development, with co-hosts JADE, the Asian Development Bank Institute, UNU, and UChicago BFI. The framing question: what does Japan's own development arc, from postwar recovery to the lost decades, teach the rest of Asia about the trap.
Forty-plus economists. Country teams from China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan. The week closed on a session led by Chang-Tai Hsieh (UChicago) on China's structural slowdown and what the rest of Asia can learn from it.
