Long Vo completed his PhD candidature at the Economics department of the UWA Business School. His current research, which is supported by an Australian Government's Research Training Program Scholarship, sheds light on the dynamics of exchange rate movements in relation to international commodity price changes. In particular, he examines how the equalisation (or lack thereof) of food and agricultural production prices across 180+ countries accords with the purchasing power parity theory. He is also exploring fundamental drivers of international real exchange rates, consumption and pricing behaviours. This research provides him with a solid understanding of the state of agricultural market integrations and trends, the degree to which currencies are over/under-valued, and the global demand for food and non-food sectors, among other matters.
