Ryan Marapin is a researcher at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Economics and Business, specializing in economic productivity analysis and international price comparisons. His work primarily focuses on sectoral productivity differences across countries and structural economic changes.
His research interests center around economic productivity measurement, with particular emphasis on sectoral productivity differences, purchasing power parity, and structural economic changes. Marapin's work examines how productivity varies across sectors and countries, with applications to economic development and policy formulation. His research employs advanced econometric techniques to analyze large-scale economic data, particularly through the GGDC Productivity Level Database.
Marapin's publications demonstrate consistent research output in high-impact venues including the IMF Economic Review and academic book chapters. His work shows a clear progression from analyzing price comparison inconsistencies (2022) to examining sectoral productivity differences (2023-2024) and now addressing productivity convergence through structural change (2025).
His research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to economic growth and development. Marapin frequently collaborates with Robert Inklaar and other researchers at the Groningen Growth and Development Centre.
Marapin has contributed to significant datasets including the GGDC Productivity Level Database 2023 Edition and replication data for his research on sectoral productivity differences, which have been referenced in policy sources and widely downloaded by researchers globally.
