The regression model is estimated based on the Cobb-Douglas production function and the labor productivity is modeled as dependent on the variables, namely capital intensity, material input cost per labor, proportion of skilled labor and dummy variables including types of ownership and regions that FDI enterprises locate. OLS (Ordinary Least Square) and various econometric estimation techniques are employed in order to obtain reliable and appropriate results that show the findings based on the scientific analysis. As results, finding results in analysis of FDI impact on labour productivity in the case of this study consequently suggest in general that FDI in 4 sub- industrial sectors plays an important and positive role in enhancing labor productivity at firm level in Vietnam. Moreover, the results seem to be appropriate to answer research's questions as well as confirm expectation for hypotheses of different impacts of FDI across regions and types of ownership, except for skilled labor that does not appear to affect on labor productivity in this research. iii UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION .

Problem Statement Since the late 1980s, on the basis of Doi Moi or the government's socio-economic reforms which started in 1986, Vietnam has initially transited from a centrally planned to a market- oriented economy. Typically for this process, Vietnam has advocated economic integration, in addition to its five "tions": urbanization, globalization, industrialization, modernization and privatization to spearhead this process. Beginning with the promulgation of the Law on Foreign Investment in 1987 and the signing of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, Vietnam became a member of the Association of South East-Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 1995 and joined the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in 1998. In July 2000, Vietnam signed the Vietnam-US Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) and then joined Asia Europe Meeting in the following year, 2001. The most recent and notable event was Vietnam's WTO integration in 2007. During the economic transition from after 1986 to current years, many observers, policy makers and academics contend that foreign direct investment (FDI) played a crucial role which can help jumpstart to Vietnam's economy on its way to accelerating reform and socio-economic growth, Mai (2004). In addition, FDI may affect all economic, cultural and social aspects of the economy and is an indispensable capital source to developing countries including Vietnam, especially Asia's Newly Industrializing Countries (NICs). Through FDI flows, these countries can cover the saving-investment, foreign exchange and fiscal gaps and hence promote socio-economic growth, Taylor (1993). It may seem natural to argue that FDI can convey great advantages to host countries. That is why policymakers of developing countries including Vietnam always pay much attention to effects from FDI flows to country's economic growth. However this study does not focus on FDI by examining the effects of foreign direct investment on Vietnam's socio-economic growth in a general respect, this research wants to test the impact of FDI on the labor productivity at firm level in Vietnam as a whole and to 1 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com identify main significant determinants of the FDI impacts to examine whether they vary due to different forms of ownership as well as different locations. Specifically, the present research aims to answer whether FDI increases the overall labor productivity which is helpful for Vietnamese policymakers in planning effective policies to improve and maximize local labor productivity that can serve to develop and monitor the effects of local labor market policies, to ensure the equitable development among regions as well as achieve sustainable development. Research objectives The general objective of the research will investigate whether FDI increases the overall labor productivity in Vietnam, as measured by term of value added per labor, focusing on enterprises of four sub-industries; food processing, hotels and restaurants, textile, garment and footwear and electronics and mechanics including domestic and FDI firms located over the country. To meet this overall objective, the research will also target two specific objectives, to evaluate whether: (i) The impact of FDI has enhanced on labor productivity in Vietnam more than domestically-owned firms including state owned firms and non-state owned firms? (ii) Make recommendations to policy-makers in Vietnam as to how to best channel FDI so as to improve and maximize the value added oflabor. Research questions Based on the research objectives, the study will aim to find out the answers for the following questions: 1) Does FDI significantly impact on labor productivity in Vietnam? 2) Does the impact ofFDI on labor productivity in Vietnam differ significantly across regions as well as the ownership structure of firms? 2 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 3) Are there any significant differences and gaps of FDI impacts on labor productivity among these four sub-industries in this research? 1.
