摘要: This paper examines the interrelations among ownership, trade, and firm productivity in Vietnam, a developing transition economy. Based on a firm-level panel data for the period 2000-2008, the empirical results show that foreign-owned enterprises (FOEs) experience higher productivity than do their domestic counterparts, whereas private firms (POEs) are not expected to outperform state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in productivity. Trade executes a productivity-enhancing effect for Vietnamese firms, but this effect only applies for FOEs and POEs, and not for SOEs. Vietnam access to the WTO produces tough competition and improves SOEs' productivity. Various robustness checks support our findings. 出版者: Routledge 出版日期: 2016-07-02 出處: Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics, 2016-07, Vol.23 (3), p.356-371 資源來源: Taylor & Francis Journals Auto-Holdings Collection 版權: 2016 City University of Hong Kong and National Taiwan University 2016 識別號: ISSN: 1608-1625 識別號: EISSN: 2164-2257 識別號: DOI: 10.1080/16081625.2016.1188449
