Conduct qualitative and quantitative research under guidance of a senior economist, including time-consuming Internet and database searches for qualitative information; time constraints largely prevent such studies by senior analysts, Example: - Conducting a web-trawl and compile a database of energy subsidy regimes (costs, regulations, taxes, history) in Asian countries, since no single source provides this information - it would have to be pieced together in an extensive search, and do a preliminary assessment of the findings.

Respond to client requests; intermediated via senior analysts, the candidate is expected to gather specific data requested by clients. The economics team receives numerous requests on a daily basis asking tailored questions regarding historical data series, forecasts, etc,; these requests are currently answered by senior analysts or junior staff, which could be redeployed more efficiently to other tasks of more immediate relevance to the senior analysts Eample: - Compile information requested by a client on the weight of CPI components of various Asian countries.

Provide basic analytical work on research projects, including basic regression and correlation analysis. This is to be undertaken under the guidance of a senior analyst, but requires rudimentary statistical skills. Example: - Do a correlation analysis between the PPI and CPI series in Asian economies to estimate pass-through.

Compile and maintain databases for frequently required information to speed up response times for clients or sales requests. Example: - Maintain a range of excel sheets with specific, frequently required information, such as the export destination statistics or real exchange rate movements.

Prepare PowerPoint Presentations; under the guidance of senior analysts prepare the graphs and tables for a presentation, ideally to be re-submitted to senior analysts in ready format. Here, automation of frequently used charts is essentials, but also the ability to devise independently a coherent presentation; Example: - Prepare a PPP presentation covering our latest US and Thai views with emphasis on our interest rate calls.

Analytical understanding of Economics at the Master's level. MBA would be added advantage.

Strong statistical and econometric skills, including the advanced use of Excel as well as regression packages such as Eviews.

Ability to think independently and analytically, the job is not purely designed as mechanistic data gathering, but some of the research tasks enquire the ability to think critically and contextually.

Ability to write well; while the candidate is not expected to write full research reports, occasional summaries or data comments may be required.
