The Job Market Sharing Workshop brings together NUS Economics alumni and friends from outside the department to share insights into the economics job market and careers in academic and non-academic settings. In 2025 and 2026, speakers have come from, for example, universities in mainland China—such as Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and Zhejiang University—as well as The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Princeton University’s DeCenter, and New York University Abu Dhabi; institutions including the Asian Development Bank and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority; and private-sector firms such as American Express and Amazon.
