About Nhi Tran

Dr Nhi Tran is an Adjunct Fellow at Victoria University.

Her expertise and research focused on the development and application of national and regional computer general equilibrium (CGE) models for the analysis of socio-economic impacts of various policy changes in Australia and overseas.

Examples of her work include:

  • the construction of dynamic CGE models with extensive fiscal detail for the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance, the Malaysian Ministry of Finance and the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance
  • the construction of labour market forecasting models for Vietnam and Oman
  • the construction of a multiregional dynamic model of Australia with migration detail
  • modelling of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in a dynamic regional CGE model for Australia.

 

The models were used to analyse a wide range of economic policies, including tax reform, fiscal stimulus package, trade liberalisation, climate change adaptation, rice land designation policy, labour market forecasts and immigration policies.

In the health economics field, she has participated in projects to use a global CGE model to assess the impacts of hypothetical pandemics, such as Ebola and influenza. She is an active member of the GTAP community, contributing the Vietnamese, Singapore and Malaysian databases to the GTAP 9.0 database.
