Burma Economic Watch (BEW) - email edition
Economics Department, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
Supplied note: "Burma Economic Watch (BEW), a centre within the Economics Department at Macquarie University, has today issued the latest edition of its journal. The journal, which is also called 'Burma Economic Watch', is a periodical that aims to provide up-to-date and reliable data, analysis and commentary on the economy of Burma. The latest instalment, the first for 2004, has articles on Burma's growth performance vis-a-vis its peers (and the problems of measuring it), an update on Burma's banking crisis, and details of a major new survey the centre is conducting into the contributions of Burmese workers and refugees to the economy of Thailand.
We hope to have the journal on a website shortly, but in the meantime copies of BEW can be obtained by e-mailing us at: sturnell[use"@"]efs.mq.edu.au - Sean Turnell."
