AbstractNatural disasters are expected exacerbate poverty and inequality, but little evidence exists to support the impact at household level. This article examines effect of natural on income, expenditure, inequality using Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey in 2008. The effects a disaster income corrected for fixed potential endogeneity bias, estimated 6.9% 7.1% declines Vietnamese per capita respectively. Natural demonstrably worsen expenditure Vietnam, thus should be considered as...

Disability is significantly correlated with poverty in Vietnam, according to data from the 2006 Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey, especially when extra costs of living a disability are taken into account. This disability-poverty link also associated lower educational attainment, an important factor determining and productive economic activity general, both for household-based businesses wage employment. Not taking account these associations will make some poor disabled people...

Comparative political economy offers a wealth of hypotheses connecting decentralization to improved public service delivery. In recent years, influential formal and experimental work has begun question the underlying theory empirical analyses previous findings. At same time, many countries have grown dissatisfied with results their efforts reverse them. Vietnam is particularly intriguing because unique way in which it designed its recentralization, piloting removal elected people's councils...

:In this study, we examine how governance and public administration quality can affect per capita income, income inequality, poverty using provincial-level data in Vietnam. Governance are measured by the Vietnam Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI) surveys, which collect on citizens' experiences with perception of provincial performance public. Using province fixed-effect regressions, find a positive nonlinear association between income. Better also appears to improve distribution...

It is argued that without collateral the poor often face binding borrowing constraints in formal credit market. This justifies a micro‐credit program, which operated by Vietnam Bank for Social Policies to provide with preferential credit. The present paper examines poverty targeting and impact of program. found program not very pro‐poor terms targeting. nonpoor account larger proportion participants. also tend receive amounts compared poor. However, has reduced rate positive all three...

SUMMARY Vietnam aims to achieve full coverage of health insurance in 2015. An increasing type is voluntary insurance. Although there are many studies on the implementation Vietnam, little known causal impact This paper measures care utilization and out‐of‐pocket payments using Household Living Standard Surveys 2004 2006. It was found out that helps insured people increase annual outpatient inpatient visits by around 45% 70%, respectively. However, effect expenses services not statistically...

Although there are numerous empirical studies on the effect of trade facilitation international and gross domestic product (GDP), have been no poverty inequality. This study examines inequality in low- middle-income countries using generalized method moments-type instrumental variable regression. In this study, is measured by number documents days needed for exports imports. It found that helps decrease inequality, increase per capita GDP.

Dependencies among neighboring labels in a sequence are important sources of information for labeling and segmentation. However, only first-order dependencies, which dependencies between adjacent or segments, commonly exploited practice because the high computational complexity typical inference algorithms when longer distance taken into account. In this paper, we give effcient to handle high-order segments conditional random fields, under assumption that number distinct label patterns used...

The COVID-19 outbreak has brought unprecedented disruptions to the global economies and led income loss high unemployment rates. But scant, if any, evidence exists on gender gaps in economic outcomes such as income, expenditure, savings, job a multi-country setting. We investigate impacts of inequality these using data from six-country survey that covers countries different geographical locations at various levels. Our findings suggest women are 24 percent more likely permanently lose their...

Despite its low middle-income status, Vietnam has been widely praised for success in the fight against early waves of COVID-19 pandemic, with a mortality rate approximately 100 deaths out population less than million by end 2020. We add to emerging literature on effects labor market poorer countries analyzing rich individual-level data from Vietnam's Labor Force Surveys spanning 2015 find post-pandemic increases unemployment and temporary layoff rates alongside decreases employment quality....

Abstract The paper presents a strength-failure mechanism for colloidal detachment by breakage and permeability decline in reservoir rocks. current theory due to detachment, including microscale mobilisation mechanisms, mathematical laboratory modelling, upscaling natural reservoirs, is developed only detrital particles with that occurs against electrostatic attraction. We establish of widely spread authigenic the particle-rock bonds, integrating beam particle deformation, failure criteria,...

In continual learning, understanding the properties of task sequences and their relationships to model performance is important for developing advanced algorithms with better accuracy. However, efforts in this direction remain underdeveloped despite encouraging progress methodology development. work, we investigate impacts sequence transferability on learning propose two novel measures that capture total a sequence, either forward or backward direction. Based empirical these measures, then...

The article 1 presents the results of a scientific study on disability among elderly people (aged 60 and older) based data from “The Vietnam National Disability Survey 2016 (VNDS 2016)”, which was most recent publicly available at time our analysis. aim to analyze need for care individuals with disabilities 2 . findings indicate that approximately 10% in require care, is equivalent about 1.2 million individuals. proportion those 29% 53.8% severe disabilities. Additionally, we found 31% 12%...

This article estimates the impact of work migration and non-work on per capita income, expenditures, poverty inequality in Vietnam using data from two most recent Household Living Standard Surveys. We find that both have a positive expenditures migrant-sending households. Non-work significantly decreases incidence, depth severity national poverty. The effect is much smaller. Still, while does not lift people out poverty, it makes their less severe. In addition, decrease inequality, albeit...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact international remittances on different household welfare indicators including child education, assets, durable goods, and reservation wages other working age members.

We investigate determinants of individual migration decisions in Vietnam, a country with increasingly high levels geographical labor mobility. Using data from the Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS) 2012, we find that probability is strongly associated individual, household and community-level characteristics. The higher for young people those post-secondary education. Migrants are more likely to be households better-educated heads, female-headed households, youth dependency...
