About

Robert Teh is a leading trade economist whose research focuses on the long-term evolution of international trade and the transformative role of digital technologies. His most-cited work, “Long run trends in international trade: The impact of new technologies” (2018, 7 citations), introduces the WTO Global Trade Model (GTM)—a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model that incorporates imperfect competition and margin activities. This model has become a vital tool for generating forward-looking projections on trade flows and assessing how digitalization reshapes global commerce. Teh’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging theoretical modeling with real-world policy analysis, offering insights into how new technologies alter comparative advantage and trade patterns. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in trade policy, economic modeling, and the digital economy’s impact on globalization.
