On 15-16 November 2008, I participated in the 11th Convention of the East
Asian Economic Association (EAEA) in Manila, the Philippines. I was a
presenter for my co-authored paper with Professor Wade D. Pfau on Vietnamese
elderly poverty, and a discussant for a research on the Cambodian economic
growth and poverty reduction. It was a good convention where many
researchers from different parts of the East Asian region met and exchanged
research information with each other. |
