SINGAPORE - Singapore seems to be doing a better job of protecting its citizens from cyber threats than many bigger developed countries. And Professor Paul Romer, a 2018 Nobel laureate in economics, is on a mission to find out why.
"Israel and Singapore are two of the leaders in the world right now in protecting people and businesses from cybercrime - and I'd like to learn more about the details of how Singapore and Israel are doing that," said Prof Romer, 66, in an interview with The Straits Times last Friday ahead of the Nobel Prize Dialogue to be held here on Sept 13.
Other areas the world could learn from Singapore include wage policy and urbanisation - fields that Prof Romer, an acclaimed economic theorist, counts among his interests.
"Singapore is very valuable to the world as a kind of a experiment generator that shows the world the kinds of things that are possible, so that we don't get caught in a very narrow set of beliefs about what's possible or what's feasible,"
