Dr. Bao Nguyen is a Lecturer in Economics at the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics (University of Tasmania), specializing in Macroeconomics with a focus on energy economics, international trade, and Bayesian econometric modeling. Their research explores oil and gas market dynamics, China-US economic interactions, and policy implications of energy price shocks. They coordinate the unit Data Analysis for Business (BEA140), emphasizing quantitative methods for business decision-making under uncertainty.

Research Interests: Macroeconomic forecasting, energy market volatility, Bayesian VAR models, global commodity trade, and emerging economies' energy demand. Dr. Nguyen's work often employs advanced econometric techniques to analyze real-time economic data, particularly in Australian and Pacific regional contexts.

Publications highlight trends in oil and gas price forecasting, regime-switching models for energy markets, and the role of China in global oil dynamics. Their work bridges theoretical macroeconomic frameworks with applied policy analysis, particularly in resource-dependent economies like Papua New Guinea and Australia.

Teaching and supervision focus on training students in quantitative methods for business and economics, with current doctoral supervision on natural gas market mechanisms. No awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials.
