Singapore's phenomenal transformation from Third World to First World status has been of great interest to economists around the world yet there has been little quantitative research done on its economy and institutions. This innovative new research monograph fills the lacunae by presenting the Singapore economy through a macroeconometric model and laying the foundations for further research. Using formal econometric analysis and novel modelling techniques, Abeysinghe and Choy offer rare insights into how the Singapore economy works. Each of the major chapters discusses the implications of the empirical findings for current policy and an entire chapter has been devoted to macroeconomic policy simulations. This book is a unique introduction to the Singapore economy and would be of interest to econometric modellers and policy makers in Singapore as well as advanced undergraduates and graduate researchers interested in modelling small open economies.

Singapore's transformation from a trading port to a global city offers a compelling case study in long-term economic change. The Economic History of Singapore presents a detailed account of the city-state's evolving economic roles, from regional entrepôt in the fourteenth century, to colonial port city in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and finally to a global hub for trade, finance, and innovation today.Drawing on archival sources, statistical data, and historical vignettes, the chapters in this volume offer an engaging and insightful narrative of Singapore's economic development. It examines key turning points, including the rise of the tin and rubber trades, the shift to export-led industrialisation, and the transition to a knowledge-based and innovation-driven economy. Alongside macroeconomic developments, it also considers shifts in living standards, labour markets, social infrastructure, and the instinct for economic survival that has guided Singapore's choices across different historical epochs.As the first comprehensive economic history of Singapore, this volume brings fresh insight into the enduring forces that have shaped the city-state's development, and reflects on its economic future. It will be a valuable resource for students and researchers of Southeast Asian history and economics, as well as general readers interested in the making of modern Singapore.

Though there are several books on the Singapore economy, none have focused on the time series-based investigations. This book tries to address that gap and attempts to add to what we know from studies in the descriptive tradition. It is a compendium of twenty of the author's academic studies on the Singapore economy which have appeared previously as journal papers, book chapters, and feature articles. The papers share a common methodology of social scientific enquiry viz., time series econometrics, and are divided into three parts: macroeconomy, business cycles and forecasting. Each part brings together empirical essays that deal with particular aspects of these related fields. The book will be of interest to economists, policy-makers and students seeking a quantitatively informed understanding of the Singapore economy.
