As many as 250 experts and scholars from 40 countries and territories worldwide will attend the 2024 Asia Meeting of the Econometric Society, East & Southeast Asia (AMES-E/SE) in Ho Chi Minh City from August 2-4 to discuss burning issues of the global economy.
Econometrics is necessary for a rapidly developing country like Vietnam, helping the Government, coordinating agencies and businesses to make decisions based on scientific calculations and practical data. During the process of international economic integration, the use of econometrics will also help Vietnam grasp global trends, optimize resources, and improve competitiveness.
Keynote presentations will talk relationships in the economy and assess policy impacts on production and business activities, international trade, financial markets, and sustainable development, said organisers.
Macro topics such as health economics, education economics and retirement will also be touched upon at the meeting, they added.
This is the first time Vietnam has registered to host such a meeting of the World Econometrics Association. It will be organized by the Ho Chi Minh City University of Banking, Association of Vietnamese Scientists and Experts (AVSE Global), and Ecole de Management Leonard De Vinci in Paris (EMLV Business School).
