Biographical Sketch

Dong Vu is an economist in macroeconomics and monetary economics. He received his M.A. degrees in economics from Georgetown University in 2006 and in development economics from a joint program of the Institute of Social Studies, Netherlands and National Economics University, Vietnam in 2006. He plans to defend his Ph.D. in June 2010.

His research has recently focused on costly competitive/monopolistic financial intermediaries within a monetary model. His studies are involved in heterogeneous consumers, a financial market shock, and endogenous risk-rating as well. He has started a new framework of human-capital heterogeneity in order to categorize "passive" and "active" investors. Within this framework, he implements policy analyses.

He has taught a short course of mathematical economics (Math-Camp) for the first year Ph.D. students. At undergraduate level, he has taught econometrics, statistics and probability, and linear algebra. He also has assisted various courses including economics, international finance, statistics and econometrics.
