The Asian Development Review (ADR) is a professional journal for disseminating the results of economic development research relevant to Asia and the Pacific.

In this issue, topics include the trade implications of the Trans-Pacific Partnership on Asian countries, policy divergence in the context of the Trilemma and its effect on the probability of crises, wage differentials and worker quality in Malaysian manufacturing, productivity spillovers from foreign direct investment in the People's Republic of China (PRC), the determinants and effects on firms of outward direct investment from the PRC, global production sharing and wage premiums in Thai manufacturing, and the fiscal policy implications of the trade-off between development and security spending in Afghanistan.

ADR is published twice a year, in March and September, by MIT Press under the editorship of Professor Masahiro Kawai.
