Teaching Interests

 

Since 2009, I have been lecturing East Asian Economies II.

Between 2006-2009, I was a teaching assistant for various subjects including Business Data Analysis I; International Finance III; East Asian Economies II; International Trade and Investment Policy II; and Money, Banking and Financial Market III.

Research Interests

My primary area of research is development economics. My works also cover areas of education economics, agricultural economics, East Asian Economies, and applied econometrics. 

During my PhD, I focused my research on the economics of religious schools covering various aspects such as inequality of income and education, earnings, demand for religious education, the role of religious leaders, impacts of government policy, etc.

Given my new role, my work mostly covers various issues in Indonesian agricultural sectors such as climate change, export taxes and self-sufficiency issues.

I am also involved in the GoLive Indonesia Project and running my personal blog Indonesian Labour Studies.
