Hi. I’m a development economist with strong interests in trade, environment, income distribution, poverty and economic growth. Regionally, I specialize in Asian developing countries, especially Southeast Asia. I set up this blog because from time to time I want to share, vent, inform, argue, or ask questions about the things that interest me. That won’t be all economics all the time (I do have a life!) but usually it’s economics stuff that gets me going enough that I want to actually write something and post it. Không sao is a Vietnamese expression that translates roughly as “doesn’t matter.”
