Outline of Final Research Achievements

Using the officially collected enterprise-level data in Vietnam, I conducted empirical research to capture the dynamic structural changes in economy and society of the country. Where it is possible, I attempted to use a panel data constructed from the original data. Concretely, I studied (1) factors associating with the survival of multinational enterprises (MNE) in Vietnam during 2000-2011 using Cox hazard models, (2) how the origin of foreign investors affects the degree of horizontal and vertical technological spillovers, and (3) the impacts of health insurance coverage on medium and large-scale domestic private firms’ performance and productivity. Regarding the effect of import penetration on domestic employment, which is an important topic for both developing and developed countries, I studied using the plant-level panel data in Japan as well as the Vietnamese data mentioned above.
