Research Vietnam
- focus on:
- income inequality, based on bottom 40%, Gini coefficient, other inequality measures
- focus on: Vietnam varation in incidence of catastrophic weather events (e.g. floodings) and unequal impact of these events on households
Literature unsorted
[ ] WorldBank2012
- marked reduction in absolute poverty in country
- rate of decline slowed somewhat since mid-2000s [@WorldBank2012; @VASS2006; @VASS2011]
- some decline can be directly attributed to liberalization of markets instead of growth more generally [@McCaig2011; @Benjamin2004; @Edmonds2006]
- inequality in Vietnam is largely intersectional between ethnicity, regional situation, and a strong rural-urban divide
- persistent poverty severe among ethnic minorities [@Baulch2012]
- focuses on consumption inequality
Descriptive statistical analysis ideas
- real GDP per capita growth rate (see @Benjamin2017, fn.1)
- distribution of GDP per capita (along ethnicity, rural, regional)
- amount of ethnic minority in region (Ninh Binh)
- overall (wikipedia ~98% Kinh)
- versus especially rural
Questions
- Should I work out a more explicit distinctive line between studies looking at welfare (consumption) and earnings (income) inequality, e.g. in an additional paragraph?
- since income inequality outcomes tend to be larger than consumption inequalities in V
