    Is Vietnam economic paradigm sustainable for catch up

    Full text link
    In the course of catching-up, Vietnam faces risks in two sectors: in real sector and in financial sector. In this paper we focus mostly on risk in real sector: the risk of getting stuck in middle-income trap. Vietnam is still far lagged behind her neighbors and much more further to developed economies. Does the economic paradigm that Vietnam follows in the last two decades allow her to catch up with those economies? We show that Vietnam’s economic growth in the last two decades based essentially on cheap but low skill labor and physical capital. Participation in international and regional production network probably lock Vietnam in low-tech position, hence low value added. If Vietnam keeps on growing in present paradigm, hardly can it catch up the neighboring economies.Flying geese paradigm, VAR models, TFP, Technological improvement, catch-up, Vietnam.

    Optimizing Mixed Box Packing Problem with an In-House built Application

    Full text link
    The three-dimensional knapsack problem aims to find the combination of given rectangles or boxes into a larger rectangle or box of fixed dimension. The optimization is an NP-Hard problem, which has no known algorithm can solve it in a polynomial time. This paper presents the case of knapsack problem in pallet combinatorial optimization at Automotive Aftermarket Division at Robert Bosch GmbH Japan. The division outsourced their packing process to a service provider called Provider. The palletization at Provider is done intuitively based on experiences. The author proposed to develop an in-house software that will determine the most optimal combination of boxes to pack in pallet box constraints to minimize waste of pallet capacity. A packing algorithm that considers up to 5 of volume, non-overlapping, box orientation, non-over packing and weight was proposed. The software was later developed based on the algorithm with Python language with GUI Tkinter. An additional Excel file with open source code from University of Bath was introduced to handle the visualization and animation of packing pattern

    This recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with Asian Americans native to or living in Houston.Nghi Nguyen and Nha Tu is a Vietnamese Americans couple in the LGBTQ community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they donated to the Houston Food Bank, which was funded through the sales of their designed, hand-crafted masks. Their contribution was reported on the OutSmart Magazine's front page. Nghi was born in 1993 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and grew up there. Having tried out various disciplines and taking a gap year, he decided to come to Houston to study Fashion in Houston Community College to pursue his passion. While studying, he interned at local designer’s shops mentored by one of the most well-known designer in Texas, Chloe Dao; and later upon graduation, he founded his own online women’s wear brand “NEEWIN”. He started taking testosterone injections two months before the date of this interview, an important step of transition toward his true identity. Nha was born in Vietnam in 1994. She came to the US with her parents at age 10 to join her grandparents. They settled first in Iowa, and then in Dallas, then Houston in 2016. She studied in Iowa State University first, then University of Iowa, then University of Texas Health Science Center with a bachelor’s degree in Nursing, which she obtained in May 2018. She is now a registered nurse serving at the HCA Houston Healthcare in Clear Lake, Texas. Her job nowadays includes caring for COVID-19 positive patients, for which she also shared her experiences of in this interview. The couple shared their experiences of meeting each other first, their favorite dating activity —being the museum, as well as their prospects for the future
