In this blog, I embark upon using my personal life and experience to test restrictions and predictions of formal economic models which I am interested in. I will also try to use those models to provide possible explanations to economic phenomenon in reality, mostly in Vietnam, my home country as I am more familiar with its cultural and political landscapes. Most of my analysis will be for myself to think out loud, but I hope that readers may be find them beneficial regardless of whether or not they are reasonable, not to mention correct.
