Export Spillovers from FDI Companies in Manufacturing Sector in Vietnam

Abstract

The paper examines effects of export spillovers by FDI companies on Vietnamese manufacturing companies. Heckman?s sampling model is estimated according to dataset of WB survey of companies. The results show that characteristics of each company play an important role in two export decisions: (1) whether to take part in export or not, and (2) how large the export share is. FDI companies produce export spillover effects on local companies, and moreover, FDI export spillovers are not identical and they depend on characteristics of local companies.http://jabes.ueh.edu.vn/Home/SearchArticle?article_Id=79f6b4b2-f799-4369-816a-bf604f12dd24
