About Me


Welcome to my webpage!

My name is Giang Thanh Long. I was born in
Hai Duong - the city in the North of Vietnam, and it is famous for Green Bean Cake and many agricultural products. I completed my high school at Hai Duong School for Gifted Children (currently Nguyen Trai School) in 1994. I finished undergraduate at National Economics University from Faculty of Banking and Finance in 1998, and since then I am a lecture of Department of Macroeconomics, National Economics University (NEU). In 2002, my Department with Department of Microeconomics and Department of National Economy's History were merged, and we have current Faculty of Economics.

From October 2001 to August 2003, I studied in the Masters of Asian Public Policy Program (APPP) of Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo, Japan with the first-time scholarship in Vietnam from Japan International Cooperation Center (JICE). After going back to NEU, since November 2003, I have also worked as a researcher Vietnam Development Forum (VDF) Hanoi - a joint research project between NEU and National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) in Tokyo. During October 2005 - September 2008, I completed a PhD program in Public Policy at GRIPS, and worked as a research fellow at the Vietnam Development Forum (VDF) Tokyo.

During the time of working and doing research, I have realized that networking is one of the most important parts of academic life, particularly when you want to exchange information with someone who are living and working far from you. Moreover, working and studying in Vietnam and abroad have also provided me different visions and thoughts about my work at NEU as well as VDF. Therefore, I decided to create this website to exchange teaching and research information with colleagues, students, and friends. This is totally not for commercial purposes, and thus no advertisements are allowed!

I would like to thank Mr. Ngo Van Tau--one of my close friends since high school, and currently Director of
Runsystem Company--for providing me a generous space in his company's database to upload my information.
