IDEAS, the largest bibliographic
database dedicated to Economics with data drawn from over 2,000 participating
archives, recently ranked the Asia School of Business (ASB) as the top economic
research institution in Malaysia, as of March 2020. ASB,
a business school established in 2015 through a partnership between MIT Sloan
and Bank Negara Malaysia – the Central Bank of Malaysia, was selected from 52
qualified institutions within the country. Its ranking is based on several
criteria, which emphasize the citations of publications by authors registered
in the Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) Author Service. In
terms of authors, ASB also had an impressive showing with three faculty members
being placed in the top five rankings, from a field of 309 authors. Athanasios
Orphanides,
the current Co-Chair of ASB came in first, while Hans Genberg, Professor of
Economics and Associate Program Director of the Masters of Central Banking
Program together with Eli Remolona, Professor of Finance and Director of Master
of Central Banking Program, were placed fourth and fifth respectively. As an
institution operating in an internationalized higher education sector, ASB has
invested in hiring outstanding talents among its faculty to enable the delivery
of its top-notch programs. Apart from its flagship MBA program, ASB also offers
an MBA for Working Professionals, a Master of Central Banking and various
non-degreed Executive Education programs, attracting a high number of students
from across the world. Coming-up
as the top economic research institution in Malaysia will help further cement
ASBs position as a global knowledge and learning center while driving its
mission of becoming the premier school of management and executive education in
Asia. If
