This study provides empirical evidence regarding to the relationship between household income and individual health, as well as the correlation between health and education at provincial level. We apply the concept of human health capital theory into models which treat health as a form of human capital in income process and education progress. We employ two datasets, one is Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey wave in 2002, 2004 and 2006, and the other is the dataset for provincial level in the year 1999, 2002 and 2004, in order to make two panels. Constructing panels allow us to exploit "within" variation in health, income and education to figure out the possible unobservable biased estimates of the impact of health on income and education on health in a short period of panel data. Household income is significantly affected by individual health and life expectancy is considerably influenced by education. These findings could be seen as evidence for policy makers in health and education policy in the context of development planning.
Using a panel data at provincial level from 2004 to 2007 via mixing several officially statistical publications, the paper finds that the trade reform has affected significantly to the productivity of manufacturing sector among regions. Additionally, the transparency level of local government has positive effects on manufacturing sector productivity, while state sector biased has constrained the development of manufacturing sector. Moreover, the policy on development human capital of local government does not support the expansion of manufacturing firms.
