Alan King

BCom(Hons) PhD (Otago)

Alan's research relates to the time series modelling of trade flows (in particular, the development of varying-parameter, two-regime models of exports), balance-of-payments constrained growth and exchange rates (specifically, exchange rate pass through, the Balassa-Samuelson hypothesis and uncovered interest parity). He has also done some work on the determinants of the demand for health care and modelling the determinants of teacher salaries. His teaching interests are mainly centred on international economics, in particular, open economy macroeconomics.
