Session Description
In the context of a global economy facing numerous complex disruptions, ranging from the lingering consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia–Ukraine conflict to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, economies worldwide are under substantial pressure from inflation, supply chain disruptions, and energy crises. These factors not only heighten the risk of economic recession but also pose urgent challenges to the policy management capacity of governments. In response to this situation, governments across countries have been implementing a wide range of public finance instruments in a coordinated manner, including adjustments to fiscal policy, the use of reserve funds, and coordination with monetary policy to stabilize the macroeconomy and support growth recovery. However, the effectiveness of these policies remains widely debated and continues to involve potential risks. Therefore, studying public finance in the new era is of great academic and practical significance, as it helps provide a scientific foundation for designing policies that can adapt to an increasingly volatile global environment.

Short Bio: MA. Quyen Ha Tran is a Ph.D. Candidate in Economic Statistics. Her research interests focus on applied statistics and data analysis in business, economics, and environment.
Session Description
This session brings together cutting-edge research at the interface of nonlinear partial differential equations, stochastic analysis, and dynamical systems, with applications spanning mathematical finance and economic modeling. The contributions highlight how modern analytical techniques can address complex systems characterized by nonlocal interactions, discontinuities, and nonlinear growth behaviors.
Paper 1 investigates fully nonlocal diffusion equations on bounded domains, focusing on sharp LpL^pLp-decay estimates and the asymptotic behavior of solutions. Such nonlocal models are increasingly relevant for describing anomalous diffusion processes where classical local operators fail to capture long-range interactions. By establishing precise decay rates, this work contributes to a deeper understanding of stability and long-term dynamics in nonlocal systems, with potential implications across physics, biology, and quantitative modeling.
Paper 2 addresses a central challenge in financial mathematics: hedging in markets driven by jump processes. Within the framework of exponential Lévy models, the study proposes a weighted BMO approach to analyze discrete-time hedging errors. Moving beyond traditional L2L^2L2-based methods, it derives LpL^pLp-estimates (for p>2p>2p>2) that better capture tail risks—an essential consideration in turbulent markets. The introduction of a jump-adapted discretization scheme further ensures asymptotically optimal convergence rates, offering both theoretical innovation and practical relevance for risk management.
Paper 3 explores elliptic problems involving sandwich-type growth, an intermediate regime between sublinear and superlinear nonlinearities that presents significant analytical challenges. Using advanced variational methods, including concentration-compactness principles and genus theory, the study establishes existence and multiplicity results for solutions in both critical and supercritical cases. This work extends the theory of nonlinear elliptic equations, particularly for generalized (p,q)(p,q)(p,q)-Laplacian and Kirchhoff-type problems, and provides new tools for handling complex growth conditions.
Paper 4 applies nonlinear dynamical systems theory to model the interaction between bank deposits and loans. By formulating the system as a set of ordinary differential equations inspired by predator–prey dynamics, the study identifies key bifurcation thresholds—such as transcritical and Hopf bifurcations—that govern system stability. The findings offer valuable insights into credit dynamics, regulatory constraints, and systemic risk in banking systems, bridging mathematical theory with real-world economic applications.
Overall, this session underscores the unifying role of advanced mathematical analysis in understanding complex dynamic systems. From abstract theoretical developments to applied financial and economic models, the presented works demonstrate how nonlinear and stochastic methods can provide rigorous foundations for analyzing stability, risk, and long-term behavior in diverse contexts.
ELG-IS 7: MACHINE LEARNING AND DATA-DRIVEN METHODS FOR FORECASTING, NONLINEAR SYSTEMS, AND FINANCIAL RISK

Phone: 0979020293
Short Bio: MA. Quyen Ha Tran is a Ph.D. Candidate in Economic Statistics. Her research interests focus on applied statistics and data analysis in business, economics, and environment.
Session Description
This session brings together recent advances in machine learning, time series analysis, and data-driven modeling, with applications spanning financial forecasting, nonlinear physical systems, and risk management. The selected papers illustrate how modern computational techniques can enhance predictive performance and deepen our understanding of complex systems characterized by structural changes, nonlinearity, and uncertainty.
Paper 1 addresses a fundamental limitation of adaptive forecasting models in finance—the adaptation-lag problem that arises after prolonged stable periods. The authors propose a retrieval-augmented framework that integrates a financial conditions index to identify historically similar macro-financial regimes. By applying reliability-gated corrections based on retrieved past errors, the model improves directional forecasting performance around policy-induced regime shifts. This work highlights the potential of context-aware and memory-based learning in enhancing financial prediction under structural breaks.
Paper 2 complements this contribution by focusing on model selection in time series forecasting when both long memory and structural breaks are present. Through a combination of simulation experiments and empirical analysis, the study evaluates ARFIMA models, structural break models, and hybrid approaches based on out-of-sample accuracy. The findings provide practical guidance for selecting appropriate models under uncertainty, emphasizing the trade-offs between capturing persistence and adapting to regime changes.
Extending the scope beyond finance, Paper 3 explores the application of neural networks to nonlinear partial differential equations governing water wave propagation. By employing multilayer neural networks, the study derives soliton solutions to a high-dimensional generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili–Boussinesq equation. This demonstrates how machine learning can serve as an alternative computational tool for analyzing complex nonlinear systems, complementing traditional symbolic and analytical methods.
Paper 4 returns to financial applications by examining deep hedging strategies for multi-asset derivatives under transaction costs. The study compares classical stochastic models with a data-driven Schrödinger Bridge generator, showing that the latter can significantly reduce hedging risk in typical market conditions. However, the absence of a clear winner during stress periods underscores the ongoing challenges in modeling extreme financial events.
Overall, this session showcases the growing importance of machine learning and data-driven approaches in both theoretical and applied contexts. By bridging econometrics, financial engineering, and nonlinear science, the presented works offer valuable insights into forecasting, system dynamics, and risk management in complex environments.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Le Hoang Thuy To Quyen and Dr. Pham Quang Anh Thu are researchers at the School of Government, Dubai Palace, specializing in public policy, development economics, and governance in emerging economies. Their work focuses on labor markets, population aging, inequality, and digital transformation, with a strong emphasis on policy design for inclusive and sustainable development in Vietnam and Southeast Asia
Session Description
In the context of multiple and overlapping transitions, including demographic change, rural transformation, and digitalization, emerging economies face increasingly complex challenges in achieving systemic sustainability. This invited session contributes to the conference theme “Systemic Sustainability: Analysis and Policy Design in the Age of Multiple Transitions” by examining how micro-level behaviors, labor structures, and local economic dynamics interact to shape broader patterns of inequality, resilience, and governance.
The session brings together four complementary studies that collectively explore the interplay between labor vulnerability, rural development, organizational behavior, and market governance in Vietnam. Taken together, these papers offer a multi-dimensional perspective on how economic and social systems adapt under structural pressures.
At the individual level, the session highlights the intersection between health, employment conditions, and income security among vulnerable populations. In particular, the persistence of informal employment among older female workers creates compounded risks, where declining health translates more directly into income loss due to limited social protection. This “double vulnerability” underscores the importance of integrating labor market policies with social protection systems in aging and unequal contexts.
At the community and regional level, the session examines the role of local enterprises in fostering inclusive growth in rural areas. In settings characterized by limited access to resources and persistent poverty, local firms emerge as important drivers of income diversification and livelihood creation. By generating employment and supporting household resilience, enterprise development plays a critical role in advancing sustainable development outcomes in disadvantaged regions.
At the organizational level, the session further explores how prosocial motivation and leader-follower value congruence shape interpersonal citizenship behavior within the public sector. Such discretionary behaviors contribute to organizational effectiveness, social cohesion, and the quality of public service delivery-factors that are essential for adaptive governance in times of transition.
Finally, at the systemic level, the session extends the analysis to digital markets, where consumer behavior increasingly functions as a form of informal governance. In highly connected environments, negative consumer reactions, such as brand hate and boycott behavior, can escalate rapidly and influence market stability. The session highlights the role of behavioral mechanisms, such as brand forgiveness, in mitigating these dynamics and maintaining systemic resilience.
Overall, the session provides an integrated analytical framework linking individual vulnerabilities, local development processes, organizational behavior, and market-level governance. By bridging these levels, it aims to generate insights into how policies and institutions can be designed to promote inclusive, adaptive, and resilient systems in the face of ongoing socio-economic transformations.

Session Description
This invited session, titled “Sustainable ESP Education in the Age of Transformation: A Systemic Case from Dubai Palace,” examines the development and implementation of a large-scale English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program at the Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) over a three-year period. In the context of rapid economic, digital, and educational transformations, higher education institutions are increasingly required to align language education with disciplinary knowledge and labor market demands. This session responds directly to the conference theme of Systemic Sustainability by presenting ESP not merely as a pedagogical approach, but as a systemic solution for sustainable curriculum development.
The Dubai Palace ESP program is structured into three progressive modules includingGeneral Business English, ESP 1, and ESP 2, and is differentiated into four disciplinary tracks: English for Business, Economics, Law, and Technology, Design, and Communication. Each track is led by a subject-specific coordinator, allowing for both standardization at the program level and contextualization at the disciplinary level. Drawing on insights from multiple coordinators, the session explores how a multi-track ESP model can be designed, implemented, and sustained within a large institutional setting.
The session addresses the following key questions: How can ESP programs be systematically structured across disciplines? What challenges emerge in scaling ESP implementation? How do pedagogical practices vary across disciplinary contexts? And what policy implications can be drawn for curriculum governance and institutional sustainability? By integrating empirical reflections and program-level analysis, this session offers evidence-based insights into the opportunities and constraints of ESP implementation in higher education. It aims to inform policy discussions on curriculum innovation, teacher development, and institutional strategies for sustainable language education in the age of multiple transitions.

SURVIVAL TIPS
Get ready to be intimidated by the VND (Vietnamese Dong)
Vietnamese dongs come in plenty that the majority of them aren’t too familiar with. It can really throw you off sometimes… but don’t let it fool you. Don’t even bother with 1,000 VND – even 10,000 VND is nothing. It becomes easier once you cross out the zeros at the bank.
Cross your eyes and cross the road
The roads in Vietnam are always busy and filled with lots of motorbikes and cars. Therefore, when you cross the road, you should stand in lines with your friends and raise your hand while you are walking. Look out for a gap and walk consistently at the same pace. Don’t hesitate, don’t slow down or fasten. The riders will see you and know how to avoid you.
It’ll be useful to have some survival vocabulary handy.
Watch your spending
With so many things being cheap in Vietnam, it is easy to lose track of how much you spend. Therefore, you should consider carefully before buying something by preparing some notes at hotels.
Moreover, in order not to buy something with an expensive price, you can ask your Vietnamese friends to get some more suitable options.
OTHERS
Weather
In August, southern Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City, is in the midst of the rainy season. The weather is warm and humid, with peak temperatures sometimes rising above 35°C. Rain showers are frequent but typically brief, often occurring in the early morning or late afternoon, leaving much of the day dry and suitable for exploring. Visitors are advised to pack raincoats, umbrellas and waterproof shoes to stay comfortable during unexpected downpours.
Power Plugs
The voltage supply in Vietnam is 220 volts. Most sockets accommodate plugs with two round prongs. If you need adaptors, you can find them at any electrical shop, or ask your hotel for assistance. Power cuts and surges are not common but can happen from time to time depending on the location.

Keynote Speakers
James Madison Professor of Political Economy and Professor of Politics and International Affairs
Princeton University, USA
Leonard Wantchekon is the James Madison Professor of Political Economy and Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University, with affiliations in Economics.
A leading scholar in political economy, economic history, and development economics, his work combines field experiments, historical analysis, and institutional studies.
Key contributions include:
- Pioneering field experiments with real politicians and elections to study policy messaging, deliberative campaigning, candidate selection, bureaucratic governance, and education politics.
- “The Paradox of Warlord Democracy” – a novel framework explaining how liberal democracies can emerge from civil wars, with implications for classical and modern political theory.
- Seminal papers on historical legacies:
- “Slave Trade and the Origins of Mistrust in Africa” (AER 2011, with Nathan Nunn) – links transatlantic/Indian Ocean slave trade to contemporary trust levels in Africa (foundational in cultural economics).
- “Critical Junctures” (with Omar Garcia Ponce) – traces post-Cold War African democracy levels to the nature of anti-colonial movements.
- Recent micro-historical research using 19th–20th century Benin school data as natural experiments to estimate education’s intergenerational mobility effects via parental aspirations; now extended to gender norms, education demand, and ethnic/racial inequalities in Africa and the U.S.
Shaped by his experience as a pro-democracy student activist under Benin’s repressive military regime (1976–1987), recounted in his autobiography Rêver à Contre-Courant (2012).
He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Econometric Society, and serves on the International Economic Association’s Executive Committee.
