Assessing and Improving Policy Response to Economic Shock in the Republic of Palau
This report, prepared by the Graduate School USA’s EconMAP team, was developed under a technical assistance contract with the Asian Development Bank (ADB). It analyzes the Republic of Palau’s policy and economic responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including health protection strategies, economic support programs, and fiscal consequences from FY2020 through FY2023. The report also investigates four priority data areas—migration, remittances, foreign direct investment (FDI), and small and medium enterprises (SMEs)—and provides targeted recommendations to improve data collection and reporting systems. The analysis is intended to guide future policy planning and enhance Palau’s resilience to external economic disruptions.

The Economic Impacts of the End of Compact Grant Assistance in the Three Freely-Associated States
Posted May 06, 2022
This study, commissioned by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), is designed to benefit its three North Pacific member countries and their development partners. This study provides information and analysis about the three Freely Associated States of the FSM, RMI and Palau as they approach an important milestone in their Compact relationships with the US. At the time of conceiving this study, in late 2018, the range of possible outcomes at the end of each specified Compact funding period for each FAS was quite broad, and ADB believed that the affected parties and their development partners would benefit from a professional study that estimated the range of potential fiscal adjustments and then modeled the associated economic outcomes.
