TL;DR: In this article, the effect of non-farm sector involvement on poverty and expenditure growth was investigated using the Vietnamese Household Living Standards Surveys of 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008, and the endogeneity-corrected estimates show that an additional household member involved with nonfarm activity reduces the probability of poverty by 7-12% and increases the household expenditure by 14% over a two-year period.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss organisational innovation among state, private, foreign and joint-stock enterprises with focus on leadership and resource which are expected as key factors to innovation, and propose that authorities in these enterprises are suggested to use financial capital in appropriate time only otherwise they should use other tool to do innovation in their organisations.
Abstract: This paper discusses organisational innovation among state, private, foreign and joint-stock enterprises with focus on leadership and resource which are expected as key factors to innovation. Data drawn from a survey with more than 600 respondents in most industrialised regions in Vietnam is analysed. The finding shows that higher educational level of respondents in state enterprises has negative relationship with all kinds of innovation. State enterprises absorb large amount of funding from government budget but still need more financial resource to generate innovation. However, private and foreign companies do not require more financial capital but they need human capital that is leaders owning transformational characteristics, motivation and ability of building organisational culture to generate organisational innovation. This current research proposes that authorities in these enterprises are suggested to use financial capital in appropriate time only otherwise they should use other tool to do innovation in their organisations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine insights from a regionally-disaggregated or bottom-up CGE model and a micro-simulation using household data to analyze Vietnam's rice export policy and recent export ban in the context of rising food prices.
Abstract: Analysing Vietnam’s rice export policy and recent export ban in the context of rising food prices, this study combines insights from a regionally-disaggregated or ‘bottom-up’ CGE model and a micro-simulation using household data. Three main conclusions are drawn. First, although there is little impact on GDP, there are substantial distributional impacts across regions and households from dierent export policies and market conditions. Second, both rural and urban households, including poor households, benet from free trade, even

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the recent (2007-2009) Global Financial Crisis and its transmission through bank lending to emerging Asian economies and found that the bank ownership does not play a substantial role in the transmitting process.
Abstract: This paper studies the recent (2007-2009) Global Financial Crisis and its transmission through bank lending to emerging Asian economies. It highlights two channels of shock transmission identified in the literature: bank ownership and liquidity. We find that the bank ownership does not play a substantial role in the transmitting process. It is the liquidity channel measured by lending in foreign currency that is mainly responsible for the GFC transmission to the loan market in Asia, albeit the effect on the credit market is likely to be small. Additionally, our results suggest that the contraction of foreign currency liquidity is partially substituted by domestic currency lending. However, the substitution occurs only within banks and not between banks owing to high switching costs. We employ a unique dataset on new loan issuance to Asian borrowers and apply a recently developed method (Khwaja and Mian 2008) to address the identification problem in examining bank lending and shock transmission. Our results are robust according to a number of sensitivity analyses.
