Vietnam Economist Annual Meeting

Introduction

The Vietnam Economist Annual Meeting (VEAM) is organized annually for economists and other social researchers based both within and outside Vietnam to present their scholarly and scientific research papers, outputs and programs.

The conference’s Scientific Committee is served by a core group of dedicated economists, both veteran and junior. These include Prof. Le Van Cuong, Prof. Tran Nam Binh, Prof. Pham Hoang Van, Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh, Dr. Dao Ngoc Tien, Dr. Nguyen Dinh Chuc, and Dr. Le Thai Ha. VEAM provides an opportunity for research dialogue among Vietnamese economists and PhD students from all over the world to exchange their ideas on economics, public policy, finance, management, and social sciences. The meeting also serves as a platform to enhance collaboration between Vietnamese universities, research institutes and international partners.

The speakers and participants have used previous meetings to actively discuss their research interests and to share experiences and knowledge in order to work towards an enhanced and deeper understanding of the various social and economic issues affecting Vietnam, as well as the rest of the world. Through the VEAM, a network of international and Vietnamese researchers has been established, leading to active and fruitful research collaboration between Vietnamese research centers and international universities and institutes.
