In 1992, he received the Bintang Jasa Utama (Highest Merit Star) from the Republic of Indonesia for his contributions to food security. He served as the chief outside advisor to USAID in developing their strategy on growth and agriculture for the Natsios Report (Foreign Assistance in the National Interest). Timmer's work at the Center focuses on three broad topics: the nature of "pro-poor growth" and its application in Indonesia; the supermarket revolution in developing countries and its impact on the poor; and new research on the full array of mechanisms by which rich countries have an impact on poor countries.
