Whether locating within industrial parks raises productivity of manufacturing firms? Evidences from Vietnam
Journal Title: Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 24
Abstract
During twenty years, 1992 -2010, over 200 industrial parks (IP) have been established in Vietnam. IP probably results in economy of agglomeration, reduction in average total cost and increase for labor productivity. In contrast IP may induce diseconomy of agglomeration and opposite results. This study investigates the role, characteristics of firm locating in IP and using econometrics model to investigate the impact of firm locating within IPs on its labor productivity. The results prove that IP locating firms account a small percentage in total number of manufacturing firms in Vietnam but play considerable role for manufacturing sector in general and for manufacturing foreign investment in special. Locating in IP has quite significant positive effect on firm's labor productivity.
