  • The paper aims to investigate whether foreign direct investment (FDI) has positive effect on the labour productivity in Vietnam. Labour productivity is the elemental determinant of a country's development level in long-term. In recent years, although increasing consistently, labour productivity of Vietnam remains low in comparison to other South East Asian countries. To identify the direction of effect and the level of effect of FDI and human capital on the labour productivity of Vietnam, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used to examine the effect of FDI and human capital on labour productivity in Vietnam from 1986 to 2014. The results of bounds test confirm the existence of cointegration among the variables. Further, the Toda and Yamamoto Granger causality test affirms that there is unidirectional causality running from foreign direct investment and human capital index to labour productivity. The empirical results provide strong statistical evidence that foreign direct investment and human capital has a positive impact on labour productivity in Vietnam in long-term. These findings imply that workers are expected to further improve their knowledge, skills and that policy-maker should establish concrete plans to increase human capital. Results from this study provide suggestion necessary for Vietnam to achieve sustainable development.

  • 본 연구는 포아송모형, 음이항모형, 영과잉 포아송모형, 영과잉 음이항모형을 이용하여 어가의 고용량 결정요인을 분석하고, 개별모형 간 고용량 결정요인을 비교 분석한다. 이들 모형의 추정에 사용된 자료는 통계청에서 제공하는 2010년과 2015년의 농림어업총조사 마이크로 데이터이며, 이들 자료를 풀링(Pooling)하여 고용량 결정요인과 그 변화분에 대해 추정한다. 분석모형의 선정 결과, 과대 산포 경향을 갖고 있으면서 자가 노동 및 가족 경영으로 고용을 대체하고 있는 수산업의 특성을 모형에 동시에 반영하고 있는 영과잉 음이항모형이 선정되었다. 또한 2010년 대비 2015년 고용량 결정요인의 변화분을 분석해 본 결과, 어선을 보유한 어가와 판매금액이 많은 어가는 고용량 감소에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 어가의 종사경력은 길수록 고용량 증가에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 자본화된 어가와 고령화의 가속화가 수산업의 어가 고용량 수 변화에 유의한 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다.

  • This paper re-examines the impacts an institutional arrangement may have on labour market outcomes such as the employment and unemployment rates. Based on the results from a generalized econometric model, the generosity of unemployment insurance benefits, organized labour and active labour market policy have effects on a labour market in line with previous findings. However, taxes on labour and the degree of employment protection are found to affect neither the employment rate nor the unemployment rate. Thus, some findings in this paper validate earlier findings, whereas others do not.
