Research Interests / Specialization Since my area of specialization is international business, I would like to continue my research work in the same area and explore the various dimensions and issues involved in the conduct of international business. Some of these dimensions that I find of particular interest are foreign investment, trade liberalization and international tax environment. The astounding economic success of many Asian economies, particularly China, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia, being largely attributed to high inflow of foreign investment, makes it interesting to get new insights into the policies adopted by such countries to lure foreign investors. Further, with international tax environment assuming increasing importance in the recent past, I have been focusing my research work on tax incentives and the impact of tax policies on international trade and investment.
