Hieu Thi Hoang Nguyen is a Lecturer at Anglo-American University in Prague, where she teaches economics, finance, and quantitative courses. Her teaching emphasizes economic intuition, applied empirical analysis, quantitative reasoning, and the use of real-world examples to make economic, financial, and statistical concepts accessible to students from diverse academic backgrounds.
Alongside her position at AAU, she is a PhD candidate in Economics at CERGE-EI in Prague. Her research interests lie at the intersection of environmental, development, labor, and political economics, with a particular focus on how environmental and climate-related shocks affect health, labor-market outcomes, firms, and conflict. Her research combines applied microeconometrics with geospatial, satellite, climate, administrative, and household survey data to study policy-relevant questions across diverse economic and institutional settings.
Her broader academic experience includes international research collaborations and research visits, conference presentations, and externally funded research. Her research has been presented at international conferences and workshops in environmental and development economics.
