Trade and Development in Vietnam: Exploring Investment Linkages

This paper presents and uses a new, stylized single country dynamic CGE model to explore the trade-development linkages in Vietnam. Application of this framework involves addressing three basic questions: 1. Does a model that properly determines capacity additions and more fully captures macroeconomic accounting and growth dynamics predict trade levels in a satisfactory manner? 2. Are those capacity additions determined by trade liberalization, and if so, which aspects of trade liberalization? 3. Under this framework what are expected impacts of trade liberalization initiatives, such as past bilateral trade agreements and recent WTO accession, taking into account their potential effect on incentives to invest via both tariff changes and institutional reforms? We also explore the role of the state in determining investment patterns, since the government of Vietnam has played a crucial role in setting both the aggregate level and sectoral pattern of investment in the past. But recently there has been a recovery of foreign investment as well as an upsurge of investment by the domestic private sector. Moreover, Vietnam’s WTO accession agreement was as much about incentives to FDI as it was about tariff concessions, and it spurred ongoing institutional reforms that impact the investment climate.trade, development, Vietman, investment linkages

Letter from Edwin H. Abott to John Muir, 1896 Oct 24.

WISCONSIN CENTRAL COMPANIES.PRESIDENT OFFICE.WISCONSIN CENTRAL COMPANYWISCONSIN CENTRAL R. R. CO.MILWAUREE & WINNEBAGO R. R. CO.CHICAGO, WISCONSIN MINNESOTA R. R. CO.EDWIN H. ABBOT,PRESIDENT.MILWAUKEE, WIS., Oct. 24, 1896.Prof. John Muir,Martinez, California.Dear Mr. Muir:-Thank you very much for your letter of October 14th. My brother Henry has just left me on his return east, and will be very much gratified, I know, to find that you enjoyed his company as much as he did yours. I have rarely heard him speak with such warmth, of the gaining of a new friend in these later years.When Prof. Herrick arrived from Europe, as I wrote you, I eagerly secured his aid in making the sketch of Philip for your magazine. When I reach Cambridge, I will send you a photograph of Philip and also, very shortly, the memorial proceedings of the Appalachian Club meeting on October 21st. I think it highly probable that the same plates which were used for illustration there can be procured for the Sierra Club, if desired, and thus save some expense, and, perhaps, their use will not at all interfere, considering the distance points of publication. Of this you can judge when you receive pamphlet, which will be early in Novembers I trust.Meantime, Prof. Herrick will write his sketch, and since Philip was his dearest friend from the time they began life together in college, eleven years ago, and he is a literary man of exceptional skill and merit, I think he will give you something that is really good. At all events, it will be full of the same affectionate appreciation which you found in my brother. Perhaps, when I have seen the draft that Robert sends you, I may supplement it with a personal letter to you, if I think there is any need of addition.Of course, Philip\u27s father and mother are partial judges, but the extent of the sympathy and wideness of appreciation which has some to us since Philip\u27s death, from all sorts and conditions of men, yes and of women and girls too, is a great surprise. We have had literally hundreds of letters, not perfunctory or conventional, but full of ideas and feelings which have surprised us greatly and made us understand how much more widely the sweetness and light of his character and influence made itself felt than we were aware of. These expressions have come to us not only from men whom the World calls great, but from those who had not met him for fifteen years: from an Irish workman, who had not seen him for ten years, and the assistant porter of a Pullman car, with whom he crossed the Continent, and to whom he was kind, a dozen years ago. President Eliot, in his opening address to the students at Harvard, mentioned Philip as a third, after speaking of Prof. Child, and Governor Russell, to illustrate that while it was given to few to fill the long and great literary life which belonged to prof. Child, or the rare opportunities and high station which Governor Russell adorned, it was still possible for every one to exert the force of character and influence of pure living and high Philip exerted. I think he was in this exactly just and right Of course, Philip\u27s career was too brief for him to leave any of the monuments which go to make up fame among men, but he has left, evidently, in a great many hearts something which will help to make the men and women who come after him better for his life among them. I shall be glad to accumulate in your hands from time to time some suggestions and articles, perhaps, which will help carry out your purpose, and I am grateful to you for the kindness of your application and the interest which you show in one whom personally you could have known so little. Trusting that time may give me the pleasure, of meeting you personally, and hoping that you will never lose an opportunity of calling on me if you are in my neighborhood, as I shall certainly not if I am in yours, believe me,Very sincerely your friend,Edwin AbbotHome is No. 1 Follen StreetCambridgeOffice Room 1101/4 [Tremont?] BuildingBostonPOBox 11510216

Can the Electroweak Symmetry-breaking Sector Be Hidden?

In a recent paper, Chivukula and Golden claimed that the electroweak symmetry--breaking sector could be hidden if there were many inelastic channels in the longitudinal $WW$ scattering process. They presented a model in which the $W$'s couple to pseudo--Goldstone bosons, which may be difficult to detect experimentally. Because of these inelastic channels, the $WW$ interactions do not become strong in the TeV region. We demonstrate that, despite the reduced $WW$ elastic amplitudes in this model, the total event rate ($\sim 5000$ extra longitudinal $W^+W^-$ pairs produced in one standard SSC year) does not decrease with an increasing number of inelastic channels, and is roughly the same as in a model with a broad high--energy resonance and no inelastic channels.Comment: 10 pages, phyzzx, JHU-TIPAC-92001
