Hello, my name is Dr. Richard Ramsawak, and I am a Senior Lecturer based at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University - Vietnam. I am an applied economist specialising in geopolitical risk, digital transformation, and economic development in emerging markets. My research integrates econometrics, network analysis, and big data to examine how global shocks—such as political transitions, technological change, and crises—affect financial markets, institutions, and development outcomes, particularly in Southeast Asia.
I am affiliated with the Institute of Strategy and Competitiveness of Harvard Business School and member of the American Economics Association (AEA) and Urban Economics Association
