factor that contributes for the economic development. Foreign investors accessing into
emerging markets always consider on making decision about where and how to invest
its operations. This decision is not only based on national level, but also sub-national
level. In Vietnam, after implementation new policy and participation in many
worldwide organizations, foreign direct investment capital has been increased
significantly and engaged a robust role in developing economy. On the basis
theoretical framework, the author decide to examine the impact of market size
through gross regional domestic product on foreign direct investment in sub-national
level at four cities and provinces within Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City, Ha
Noi, Ba Ria - Vung Tau and Dong Nai, from 2005 to 2014. Quantitative method and
second data are used in running regression by fixed effects model in panel data.
The finding shows that gross regional domestic production at provincial level
has positively significant affect to foreign direct investment. At the same time, the
other control variables such as imports, labor force, provincial competitive index and
infrastructure development are also examined in this research. Unfortunately, only
labor force has positively significant connection to foreign direct investment, while
the others remain the positive relation insignificantly. | en_US |
