# 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
