This paper aims to evaluate total factor productivity growth (TFPG) of Vietnamese manufacturing industries over the period 2000 – 2019. The stochastic frontier models were applied to decompose the sources of TFPG into technical efficiency changes, technological changes, allocative efficiency,...

In the present study, we examine foreign direct investment (FDI)- induced productivity spillovers across 60 Vietnamese provinces from 2000 to 2016. Using a generalized method of moments technique, we find that foreign presence has a positive direct effect on total factor productivity (TFP)....
