Professor Deyo's research has focused on economy and society in Asia: including studies of economic development and reform, economic governance and institutions, corporate strategies, employment, labor markets, and labor movements. His most recent work dealt with the implications of economic reform and restructuring for the employment and social livelihood of workers in Thailand, China, and South Korea.
In addition to his Asian research, Professor Deyo maintains active teaching and research interests in global and U.S. economic and employment change over the past 40 years. He is currently researching crises on U.S. and World Capitalism.
