  • Unlocking the Puzzle

    Open AccessCong Minh Huynh, Khanh Nam PhamARTICLEPoverty & Public Policy2025References: 4

    In a comprehensive study across 32 Asian countries and territories spanning 2002–2018, we unveil the surprising impact of uncertainty on income inequality. Contrary to conventional expectations, our analysis reveals a fascinating trend: heightened uncertainty appears to wield a dual impact on income distribution. While it diminishes the income shares of both the richest and the poorest segments of society, the reduction is far more pronounced amo…

  • Climate change and income inequality in Asia

    Cong Minh Huynh, Hong Hiep HoangARTICLEJournal of the Asia Pacific Economy2024References: 11

    Asia – the most vulnerable continent to climate change – problematizes policy makers with its dual challenges of high income inequality and low institutional quality. This paper sheds light on the impact of climate change and institutional quality on income inequality for a panel data set of 35 Asian countries and territories over the period of 1990–2021. Results from estimations of Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) and two-step System Ge…

  • Climate Change, Governance Quality, and Poverty

    Cong Minh Huynh, Phan Truc Phuong NguyenARTICLEJournal of Poverty2024References: 7

    This paper studies the impacts of governance quality with various dimensions on poverty under the context of climate change for a panel data set of 63 provinces in Vietnam over the period 2006–2021. Results reveal that governance quality reduces poverty through the channels of public service delivery, control of corruption, democracy, transparency, vertical accountability, and public administrative procedures. Remarkably, such dimensions of gover…

  • A multidimensional free market and income inequality in developing Asia

    Open AccessCong Minh Huynh, Quoc Nha Le et al.ARTICLEInternational Social Science…2023References: 55

    This paper empirically examines how a free market, a governance quality (GQ) and their interaction simultaneously affect income inequality in 23 Asian developing countries over the period 2000-2019. Especially, different dimensions of a free market proxied by various components of economic freedom (EF) are analysed. Results show that the overall EF and three of its components, including labour freedom, trade freedom and investment freedom, reduce…

  • Economic freedom, economic development and income inequality in Asia

    Cong Minh HuynhARTICLEJournal of the Asia Pacific Economy2022Cited by: 3References: 7

    The impact of economic freedom on income inequality has been inconclusive in the literature. Previous studies also show the importance of economic freedom in boosting economic development, whereas the Kuznets curve theory indicates the inverted U-shaped relationship between economic development and income inequality. Thus, economic development may play an important role in moderating the nexus of economic freedom and income inequality. This study…

  • Climate Change, Economic Growth and Growth Determinants

    Open AccessHong Hiep Hoang, Cong Minh HuynhARTICLEJournal of Asian and African…2021Cited by: 5References: 20

    Using the Feasible Generalized Least Squares econometric method, the paper analyzes the impact of climate change on economic growth in Vietnam's coastal South Central region over the period of 2006-2015. The results indicate that, after controlling for the main determinants in the growth model, the climate change with various proxies has a significantly negative impact on provinces' economic growth in the region. In particular, local institutions…

  • Moderating effects of corruption and informality on the fiscal decentralization—economic growth nexus

    Open AccessCong Minh Huynh, Nam Hoai TranARTICLEAnnals of Public and Cooperative…2020References: 7

    The impact of fiscal decentralization on economic growth has been controversial in the literature, especially when this impact depends on the forms of fiscal decentralization and other moderating factors. This article investigates how expenditure decentralization and tax revenue decentralization affect economic growth, and how these impacts depend on corruption and informality in 23 OECD countries over the period 2002–16. By using estimators of f…

  • Shadow economy and income inequality

    Cong Minh Huynh, Tan Loi NguyenARTICLEJournal of the Asia Pacific Economy2019Cited by: 5References: 10

    This paper examines the impact of shadow economy on income inequality by using a panel data set of 19 Asian countries in the period 1990–2015. In contrast to previous studies, the results from estimations of fixed effect, random effect, and SGMM surprisingly show that the shadow economy reduces income inequality in the research region. Specifically, the shadow economy significantly increases the income share held by lowest quintile and decreases …
