CBS has appointed Anthony D’Costa the post of professor at the Department of International Economics and Management (INT). Anthony D’Costa will be attached to the Asia Research Center, thereby strengthening research and education on Asian affairs.

- Together with China, India will become an essential global player in the future.

Anthony D’Costa has previously been employed at the University of Washington. He is an expert in economic and industrial developments in Asia, not least, in India and has participated in seminars on Asian affairs at CBS.
