Danny Quah

Prof Danny Quah is Li Ka Shing Professor in Economics and Dean at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. His research interests lie in income inequality, economic growth, and international economic relations. Prof Quah’s work takes an economic approach to world order – focusing on global power shift and the rise of the east, and alternative models of global power relations. The economic approach emerges in that Prof Quah’s work studies the supply and demand of world order: What international system do the world’s superpowers wish to provide; what world order does the global community need?

Prof Quah’s work on income inequality sets the challenge against a broader background of social mobility and cohesion, and in so doing suggests a single narrative on the challenge of income inequality is unlikely to be correct or helpful.
