The Debut of a Young Researcher


My Ph.D. student--M. Affendy Arip--made his debut in presenting an academic paper at the 9th Spring Conference of Japan Society for International Development at the campus of Tokyo Institute of Technology on June 7, 2008. His presentation title is "An Empirical Study of Revealed Comparative Advantage and Intra-industry Trade between Malaysia-Japan-China."

Professor Hideki Esho commented: "The only weakness of this paper is it is loaded with too many interesting empirical findings." I take that comment as a compliment, and thus my celebration to Affendy's success in his first appearance in an academic conference.
