Vu Trung Dien
A multi-regional CGE model for Vietnamese Economy
Planning and Management Systems Laboratory, Department of Urban Management, Graduate School of Engineering
Place of stay: National University of Laos (Laos)
General Statistics Office, Ministry of Planning and Investment (Vietnam)
Term: March 10 - March 31, 2010
I did my internship in Laos and Vietnam from March 10 to 31, 2010. I had two main objectives to complete. First, I attended a two-day ASEAN Computable General Equilibrium Modeling International Conference at National University of Laos. I had an opportunity to meet and exchange opinions with professors and researchers, who were world-level expert in economics, Input-Output analysis, and CGE analysis. Second, I gathered data to grasp the current economic situation in Vietnam and the applicability of multi-regional CGE model for Vietnamese economy. I visited General Statistics Office of Ministry of Planning and Investment (GSO-MPI) for data collection. I presented my research and its results to some officials there, and talked over its future plan. They showed an interest in the first methodical multi-regional CGE model for Vietnam, and gave me positive advice and feedback. Their input provided strong motivation for further progress in my research.
