These empirical research projects have acted as important inputs for building up development programs and policies of the Government of Vietnam. We have a team of researchers with strong academic backgrounds in economics and econometrics who have mastered statistical packages such as STATA, SPSS and SAS.

Our team also has experienced social science researchers whose investigative methodologies and dedication enable them to draw important anecdotes from stakeholders and get to the core of issues.
