There were too many researches about attracting FDI for developing countries. However, there are still less researches related to regional competition of FDI. Therefore, this paper examines the relationship between provincial FDI in VietNam and explanatory variables base on variable set of PCI project in VietNam and other traditional variables. The purpose of thesis is finding why some provinces and cities such as Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Ba Ria Vung Tau, HCMC . have had good FDI capital and others have not so. From that the thesis suggests policy recommendation for provinces and cities enhancing regional system for developing economics. I had a literature review on regional development, attracting regional FDI and across country, the estimated model was built with collected data and econometric analysis result, I had demonstrated that our hypotheses are right or wrong. And then we answered the research questions and objectives of this study. Using data collected by the General Statistical Office of VietNam (GSO) and Provincial Competition Index (PCI) project, estimation result shows that gross industrial output, legal institution and infrastructures statistically significant to provincial FDI at the level 1% and 5%; business support service had significance to provincial FDI at the level nearly 10%. Key words: PCI, FDI impact, Provinces in VietNam, cross section data analysis. 7 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.1 Problem Statement The Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) is an effort to explain why some parts of the country perform better than others in terms of private sector dynamism, job creation and economic growth and attracting investment (FDI and local). Using new survey data from businesses that describe their perceptions of their local business environments as well as credible and comparable data from official and other sources regarding local conditions, the PCI rates provinces on a 100-point scale. In 2005, the overall index is comprised of nine sub-indices that explain much of the variation in performance across provinces in Vietnam. In 2006, new sub-indices were developed to capture other aspects of Provincial Government efforts to enhance the business environment. However, we have not found any empirical studies to show that which are independent variables of PCI and other traditional variables effect to provincial FDI and how to impact to provincial FDI in VietNam. I also did not find any analysis related to the independent variables of PCI whether they have internal relation.2 Research Objectives The overall goal of this research is to investigate significant impacts of some independent variables of PCI and other traditional variables which affect provincial FDI inflows (Regional FDI) to help policy makers to focus on key points and the good points to improve their investment environment (by Provinces) and with higher level (by Government). 8 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com There exist some previous studies related to attracting FDI to developing countries; most of these have found what factors ofthe country attracting FDI (across countries). However, the objectives of the thesis are to identify: (i) Independent variables of PCI and other traditional variables are significant impacts to FDI of Provinces in Vietnam; and (ii) Factors of PCI are highly correlated and we should revise PCI set. (iii) PCI determinants out of the ten original factors should be included in a new, more significant subset base of PCI determinants. (iv) Interaction effects between PCI improvement and FDI growth.3 Research questions The thesis focus on studying the determinants of provincial FDI in Viet Nam base on the independence variable set of the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) and other some traditional variables could be attracting FDI of provinces in VietNam. We found economic theory, and empirical studies related to FDI (chapter 2), the description of each independence variable which PCI project in Viet Nam use to survey (chapter 3). We build research model (specification) and collect the data from PCI project (www.org) and statistical yearbook of Vietnam from General Statistics Office (www.vn) to answer some research questions as following: (l)Which independent variables of PCI and other traditional variables are significant impacts to FDI of Provinces in Vietnam? (2)Factors ofPCI are highly correlated and we should revise PCI set? (3)Which PCI determinant out of the ten original factors should be included in a new, more significant subset base of PCI determinants? (4)Are interaction effects between PCI improvement and FDI growth? 1.4 Organization of the study This thesis has five chapters, while the chapter one has presented as above explain the purpose chose the theme. The rest of this thesis is organized as follows: 9 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co Chapter two briefly provides the regional development and FDI theory, and then we also have summarized the empirical researches related to attracting FDI, specially related to attracting FDI across to provinces of the country. Chapter three is presented how to build the research model base on chapter two, the way to choose the data. It is important to explain dependent and independent variables which PCI project have used to survey yearly, also including some traditional variables. Chapter four is the econometric analysis and finding. The last chapter will be conclusion and recommendation of the research. 10 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.1 The regional development and competitive regionalism theory According to Balisacan and Hill (2007), detenninants of regional economic growth in developing countries are geography and infrastructure, the capacity to connect to global economy, the quality of local governance and institutions, and the quality of human capital. Competition regionalism are low corruption, predictable and transparent businesses environment, secure property rights flexible labor markets, a competitive tax regime and efficiently supplied public goods. To Porter (1990), the determinant of national competitive advantage, the nation's in factors of production are skilled labor, infrastructure, the nature of home demand and supporting industries. These are potential variables which they could affect to attract FDI of countries as well of provinces.2 FDI theories and its applicability There are many reasons for FDI to occur. This, therefore, results in the wide range of approaches on determinants of FDI. The capital theory takes into account the consideration of profit rate and risk of firms. In contrast, international trade arguments focus on substitute or complementary effects between FDI and export. Theories on industrial organization see FDI as a tool to materialize firm's specific advantages. OLI paradigm provides dynamic approaches to the determinants of FDI. Finally, agglomeration economies try to investigate the spatial distribution ofFDI.1 Differential Rate of Return Theory Until the 1950s, international direct investment was entirely explained within the traditional theory of international capital movements. Like other forms of international II UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com investment, FDI was seen as a response to differences in the rates of return on capital between countries.2 Portfolio Theory The investors want to build an efficient portfolio of investment to avoid risk. The rates of return of the different alternative investments are matched with an element of risk in the choice between substitutable assets to build an efficient portfolio. According to Dunning (1973), the reason why portfolio theory can only partially explain direct foreign investment is that it ignores that "direct investment does not involve changes in ownership. It does, however, involve the transmission of factor inputs other than money capital, viz. entrepreneurship, technology, and management . expertise, and is likely to be affected by the relative profitability of the use of these resources in different countries as that of money capital".3 Risk Diversification Theory The theory argued that the international diversification of portfolios 1s a way of reducing the firm's risk and hedging the risks. Capital theory shows that some determinants related cost factors in PCI set have potential effects to attracting FDI of provinces.2 The International Trade Arguments 2.1 Mundell and the Heckscher-Ohlin Model Mundell (1975) extended the basic model to show that trade and capital movements can be substitute. He argued that the introduction of trade tariffs would induce a flow of FDI towards the protected countries. This argument was the same with original Heckscher-Ohlin model that restrictions on trade can be modified by international movements of factors, namely capital, given the immobility of labor.2 Kojima's "Macroeconomic Approach" Kojima (1973) groups motives ofFDI into four categories (i) to seek natural resources (ii) to take advantage of cheap labor cost in the host country (iii) to avoid tariff and 12 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co non-tariff barriers, and (iv) to take advantage of oligopolistic power owmg to technology and knowledge advantage.3 The Product Cycle Model The product cycle model, developed by Vernon (1966), was a response to the stylized fact that US firms invested abroad at a rapid rate.
