Hullo T.J Forsyth
I am a labour economist with a professional interest in labour markets in developing countries, notably China, where I hold a guest chair at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, South east Asia and East Africa
I would be interested in writing the labour markets entry for the proposed volume. I have already published the same title in the Thomson IEMB series, edited by Malcolm Warner. In addition I have also recently contributed a monograph on labour markets for the IEMB Handbook of Economics, edited by Bill Lazonick.
My details are as follows.
