Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

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

Reason

PI completed the most important and time-consuming research trip to Washington DC (WB and IMF), which should allow major outputs (2 papers and 1 domestic conference). Responses to arrange visits to the other three locations (Tokyo, Manila, Pune) have been a little delayed. Oral history interviews have also been delayed a little.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

Arrange research trips to Manila, Pune, and Tokyo. Submit for a domestic conference (JASID). Draft and prepare to submit paper 1 in summer 2023, paper 2 in winter 2023 or early 2024 (grant ends March 2024). Prepare March 2024 workshop outline with student papers.
