Outline of Research at the Start

By applying the gravity theory to economic growth, this research attempts to develop an empirical model that incorporates economic impact of neighboring countries on economic growth of a country and apply it to a panel of world countries to estimate the neighboring impact empirically.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

In AY 2023, I constructed a unique dataset of the near economic center (NEC) of a European country and combining it with the Penn World Tables database. By using the dataset, I drafted out a working paper: transmission of economic growth between neighboring countries in Europe. The study shows a country’s growth has a significantly positive impact on its neighboring countries. However, the impact is transitionary without affecting the steady-state growth rate of a country significantly. I also presented my two working papers at three international conferences to disseminate them.

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

My research is progressing as expected. I have worked to draft out the second paper by constructing a dataset following the one I have constructed in AY 2022. I used it to produce the second paper in AY 2023. This is exactly the progress I expected and planned.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

AY 2024, I will continue to revise and submit the papers I drafted in AY 2022-2023 to an academic journal for possible publication. I will use the dataset I constructed in AY 2022 to investigate “Is economic impact of a country on its neighboring countries in Asia permanent?" By applying the model I developed in AY2023, I will implement this year’s research to revisit the economic impact of a country on its neighboring countries in Asia. This would fulfill my initial research plan for AY 2024.
