Jenny Corbett has taught and researched on Japan’s economic performance and policy, on monetary policy and on East Asian financial integration at universities in the UK, Australia and Japan for 40 years. Her research has often looked at Japan in an international context, highlighting where Japan’s economic experience is different from other countries and where it is not, and drawing out lessons to be learned from Japan. In addition to her academic activities, Professor Corbett was Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Research Training at ANU from 2012 to 2017 and the Rio Tinto Fellow at the Foundation for Australian-Japan Studies from 2018 to 2021 where she established and managed a research grant support program for bi-national, university-industry collaborative research projects. She has experience as a consultant for international organisations, including the OECD, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and Japan’s Ministry of Finance.
