The impacts of natural disasters on Asian economies: Case studies of earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan, and storms and floods in Vietnam

This paper examines the impacts of natural disasters on Asian economies through two cases of natural disasters in Japan and Vietnam. The paper uses published statistics and the opinions of experts together with personal analysis to examine these two cases, focusses on discussing the impacts of natural disaster on the economy of these two countries, and then expands conclusions to the scope of other Asian economies. The paper argues that natural disasters have considerable consequences on human life and economies, and lead to long term damage in Asia. The paper concludes by inferring some policy implications to help Asian countries minimize the impacts of natural disasters on their economies. Itis emphasized that individual nations should understand the importance of nature and collaborate closely to protect nature and minimize the impact of disasters.

Training and firm performance in economies in transition: a comparison between Vietnam and China

Hình ảnh
This paper provides a comparative analysis on the role of training and its impact on firm performance in some economies in transition in Asia. The starting point is an examination of country contexts and training, and how these have shaped organizational approaches to human resource (HR) training. The paper also reviews the results of recent studies that have investigated the relationship between training and firm performance in Vietnam and China. The review results show that training is positively related to firm performance and reveals some convergence of HR training in both countries. On the basis of this, some caveats on HR training development in the future in these two countries are given. The paper ends with theoretical and practical implications Title:  Training and firm performance in economies in transition: a comparison between Vietnam and China Authors:  Nguyen, Ngoc Thang Quang Truong Buyens, Dirk Keywords:  Economies in transition Firm performance H...

Two-point Green functions of free Dirac fermions in single-layer graphene ribbons with zigzag and armchair edges

Green function technique is a very efficient theoretical tool for the study of dynamical quantum processes in many-body systems. For the study of dynamical quantum processes in graphene ribbons it is necessary to know two-point Green functions of free Dirac fermions in these materials. The purpose of present work is to establish explicit expressions of two-point Green functions of free Dirac fermions in single-layer graphene ribbons with zigzag and armchair edges. By exactly solving the system of Dirac equations with appropriate boundary conditions on the edges of graphene ribbons we derive formulae determining wave functions of free Dirac fermions in above-mentioned materials. Then the quantum fields of free Dirac fermions are introduced, and explicit expressions of two-point Green functions of free Dirac fermions in single-layer graphene ribbons with zigzag and armchair edges are established.
