This page is just a record of my activity in the international seminars/conference. Usually, I come to the conference as a presenter except for the ABCDE Tokyo Conference, where I was just as a participant. The list of the conferences are as follows (from the latest to the oldest):
1. The International conference of Sustaining Growth: Economic Transition and natiral Resouces Management in East and Southeast Asia. Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, 21-22 June 2007.
The venue of the conference is the Novotel Garden Plaza Saigon.
The objectives of the seminar are threefold. First, the seminar provides a forum for studies on the links between economic transition and sustainable agricultural development. Secondly, the seminar facilitates discussions on international relations in agricultural production, international trade and environmental agreements (Asia-Link- Recreate, 2007).
At this conference I presented a paper about free trade in East Asia using Global Trade and Analysis Projects (GTAP) Model and Game Theory. This is the abstract of my paper:
For this conference I would like to thank Asia-Link RECREATE who supported accomodation to me from Nagoya, Japan to Ho Chi Minh, Viet Nam and also acommodation during the short stay in Ho Chi Minh. Special thanks are also extended to Prof. J. Wesseler from Wageningen University (the Netherlands) and Prof. N. H. Dung, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) who helped me and gave correction on the paper.
