Equity and Access to Tertiary Education:
The Case of Vietnam
The objectives of this case study of equity and access to tertiary education in Vietnam are to (i) document the significance and consequences of disparities in tertiary education opportunities, particularly in specific instances and areas of Vietnam, (ii) investigate the results and lessons of efforts to expand access to tertiary education, and (iii) offer concrete […]

Poverty Dynamics: Evidence from Rural Vietnam
This paper implements the conceptual framework of Carter and Barrett (2001, 2006) that identifies the link between assets and household well-being transitions. I employ household panel data from Vietnam collected in two years 2007 and 2008 as foreign investment boomed and inflation rose. Poverty dynamics are modeled using changes in consumption expenditure and poverty transition […]

Sovereign Default and Private Government
Information
This paper develops a model of sovereign debt in which the government has some private information about the domestic economy. Sovereign borrowing is sustainable without enforcement, as repayment is a costly signal about the hidden economic fundamental. The signaling mechanism is able to jointly explain three empirical observations: (1) sovereign defaults usually happen in bad […]

Using a sample of 15 OECD countries, this paper investigates whether free trade agreements (FTAs) enhance R&D spillovers across national borders and if institutions play some role in affecting this knowledge diffusion process. Dynamic panel regressions...
International R&D Spillovers: the Role of Free Trade Agreements and Institutions
Using a sample of 15 OECD countries, this paper investigates whether free trade agreements (FTAs) enhance R&D spillovers across national borders and if institutions play some role in affecting this knowledge diffusion process. Dynamic panel regressions employing advanced estimation technique lend strong support to these hypotheses. The paper finds that a country’s total factor productivity […]

This paper uses the Vietnamese Households Living Standards Surveys of 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 to examine the effects of nonfarm activity on poverty in rural Vietnam. We show that nonfarm activity helps the poor, but not the poorest, given that households...
NONFARM ACTIVITY AND POVERTY REDUCTION
IN RURAL VIETNAM: 2002-2008
This paper uses the Vietnamese Households Living Standards Surveys of 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 to examine the effects of nonfarm activity on poverty in rural Vietnam. We show that nonfarm activity helps the poor, but not the poorest, given that households need to own a minimum level of endowment to partake in nonfarm activity. […]

Existence of competitive equilibrium in an
optimal growth model with heterogeneous agents
and endogenous leisure
This paper proves the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single-sector dynamic economy with heterogeneous agents and elastic labor sup- ply. The method of proof relies on some recent results concerning the existence of Lagrange multipliers in innite dimensional spaces and their representation as a summable sequence and a direct application of the Brouwer xed […]
