The main purpose of Vietnamese Economics Network (VECON) is to further communications among economists doing research on Vietnam. The network is open to anyone (economist and non-economist, Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese) who has a serious interest in the economics of Vietnam. Standard rules of nettiquettes apply and the main language of communication is English. We hope to make a modest contribution to the task of building the research infrastructure by providing a medium for scholarly communications and professional contacts around the world.

To discourage these nuisances, the network is set up as a controlled closed list in which only subscribed members can post and receive messages from the list. The server is programmed to automatically reject incomplete subscription requests without warnings.
