# Mun Sing HO ## About ![mun_ho_0.jpg](/sites/g/files/omnuum1276/files/styles/hwp_1_1__360x360_scale/public/munho/files/mun_ho_0.jpg?itok=BLIHFRIU) I am an economist at the [Harvard China Project on Energy, Economy and Environment](http://chinaproject.harvard.edu/) working on productivity measurement and environmental policy analysis. At the [China Project](http://chinaproject.harvard.edu/), based in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, we constructed a multi-sector [model of the Chinese economy](/file_url/117) to analyze energy and environmental policies. Our papers related to China environment and economic growth are listed on the right panel. My work on measuring and projecting US productivity growth are listed under "US Economic Growth and productivity" (co-authors: [Dale Jorgenson](http://scholar.harvard.edu/jorgenson/home), [Kevin Stiroh](https://www.newyorkfed.org/aboutthefed/orgchart/stiroh.html) (NY Fed) and [Jon Samuels](https://www.jondsamuels.net/) (BEA) ). Our numerical model of the US economy ([Peter Wilcoxen](http://cepa.maxwell.syr.edu/people/wilcoxen/), [Richard Goettle](http://web.cba.neu.edu/~rgoettle/)[,](http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/economics/faculty/profiles/Slesnick/Daniel%20T./) [Dan Slesnick](http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/economics/faculty/profiles/Slesnick/Daniel%20T./) and Jorgenson) -- [IGEM](http://www.igem.insightworks.com/), Intertermporal General Equilibrium Model, has been used to analyze environmental, trade and tax policies.

Our contribution of U.S. productivity data to the European Union Productivity Project may be found on their webpage, [EUKLEMS](http://www.euklems.net/euk08i.shtml#top). Recent updates are at the [World KLEMS](http://www.worldklems.net/data.htm) webpage. Work on productivity comparisons with Canada may be found at the [Industry Canada](http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/eas-aes.nsf/en/ra01785e.html) website. I am also a visiting scholar with [Resources for the Future](https://www.rff.org/people/mun-ho/). ## Curriculum Vitae [Download PDF](/file_url/118) ## Intertemporal General Equilibrium Model [Click here to learn more about the IGEM.](http://www.igem.insightworks.com/) ## Recent Publications Download 6 citations download- [BibTeX](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=6&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_publicationtopics1%5D&&&format=bibtex) - [EndNote X3 XML](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=6&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_publicationtopics1%5D&&&format=endnote8) - [EndNote 7 XML](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=6&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_publicationtopics1%5D&&&format=endnote7) - [Endnote tagged](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=6&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_publicationtopics1%5D&&&format=tagged) - [Marc](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=6&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_publicationtopics1%5D&&&format=marc) - [PubMedId](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=6&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_publicationtopics1%5D&&&format=pubmed_id) - [RIS](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=6&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_publicationtopics1%5D&&&format=ris) ### 2024 Cao, J., Ho, M., Ma, R., & Zhang, Y.
