Jesus Felipe

Principal Economist, Head of the Strategic Research Unit, and
Director of Research of the Central Asia Regional Economic
Cooperation (CAREC) Institute, in Central and West Asia
Department of the Asian Development Bank (ADB),
Manila,
Philippines.
Previously, I was Economist, Senior Economist and Principal
Economist in the Macroeconomics and Finance Research Division of
the Economics and Research Department. I joined ADB in 1996. I
held academic positions with the Hong Kong University of Science
and Technology (Hong Kong, PRC) during 1995-1996, and with the
Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta,
USA), during
1999-2002 (while I was on leave from ADB).
I am a Research Associate at the
Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis (CAMA), Australian
National University, College of Business and Economics;
at the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (CofFEE), University
of Newcastle (Australia); the Cambridge Centre for Economic &
Public Policy, University of Cambridge; and the Center for Full
Employment and Price Stability (CFEPS), University of
Missouri-Kansas City. I am a member of the Editorial Boards of
Metroeconomica and of
Journal of Employment and
Public Policy. I undertook my undergraduate studies in Spain. I hold Master's degrees from
the International University of Japan and from the
University
of Pennsylvania, and
also hold a Ph.D. from the
University
of Pennsylvania.
I work on issues relating to long-run growth in Asia, productivity and technological progress. My research
interests spread across areas such as growth (especially the
debate on the sources of growth in East
Asia), the functional distribution of income,
business cycles, the path of profit rates, and structural
change. I am also working on a project on industrialization and
structural change in Central Asia.
I have co-authored and co-edited a book entitled
Labor Markets in Asia:
Issues and Perspectives (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006). This
book was
selected in 2006 by Princeton University
as one of the Noteworthy Books in Industrial Relations and
Labor Economics.
In 2009 I published
Inclusive Growth, Full Employment and Structural Change.
Implications and Policies for Developing Asia (Anthem Press, 2009). And I am working on a book
on the theoretical foundations of the aggregate production
function and its implications for empirical analyses, entitled
The Aggregate Production
Function and the Measurement of Technical Change: A Critique and
Evaluation.
I have
published my work in the
Cambridge Journal of Economics,
Journal of Comparative Economics,
Eastern Economic Journal,
Metroeconomica,
Journal of Income Distribution,
International Review of Applied Economics,
Journal of Development Studies, World Development,
Oxford Development Studies, among others.
