Abstract

Kwanho Shin, Korea University: This paper investigates the paradox of Thailand’s success in controlling COVID-19: While Thailand has been remarkably successful in containing COVID-19, the economy is expected to contract by 8 percent—the largest drop in Southeast Asia. It argues that the paradox can be explained by Thailand’s low potential GDP growth rate, high dependence on tourism, and overly strict measures used to contain the disease.

This shows that there is a strong emphasis on sustainable development within the journal's scope. Additionally, the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy in South Korea, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in Malaysia, and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia in Indonesia also sponsor AEP.
