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.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth at the provincial level by using time-series data in Binh Dinh from 1997 to 2019. We applied the quantitative approaches Vector Autoregression (VAR) and Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) in the model, which includes economic growth, real foreign direct investment capital, ratio of trained workers, and infrastructure. The results show that all these variables are stationary at the first difference. In ARDL analysis, we found that the economic growth positively affects FDI attraction. However, there is no evidence of the effect of FDI on economic growth in the condition of low capital implemented. Moreover, findings also show that the impact of FDI on economic growth is influenced by two factors: infrastructure and human capital. The lack of human capital, which is trained personnel and infrastructure, is the main barrier hindering and inhibiting FDI's contribution to local economic growth. In order to improve the efficiency of FDI on economic growth in the future, it is suggested that the Binh Dinh government should have proper policies in terms of the infrastructure, the human capital investment. They would allow Binh Dinh to enhance the capital absorptive capacity and capital efficiency.

This study investigates the impact of Malaysia's capital market and other key determinants on Economic Growth from the period of 1988 to 2012. The key determinants studied are foreign direct investment and real interest rate. This study also examines the long run and short run relationship between the economic growth and capital market, foreign direct investment, and real interest rate by using bound testing cointegration of Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Error Correction Model (ECM) version of ARDL model. The empirical results of the study suggest that there is long- run cointegration among the capital market, foreign direct investment, real Interest rate and economic growth. The result also suggests that capital market and real interest rate have positive impact on economic growth in the short run and long run. Foreign direct investment does not show positive impact on economic growth in the short run but it does in the long run.

The study examines how foreign capital inflows affect stock market development in Pakistan for the period from July 2008 to June 2018. Several components of foreign capital inflows were used for empirical analysis, namely, foreign direct investment, foreign portfolio investment, and remittances. Further, market capitalization was used as a proxy for stock market development. The study uses an ARDL model for examining the long-run and short-run relationships between variables. We also analyze the bi-directional causality between the variables through the Granger causality test. Further, the presence of structural breaks was analyzed through the CUSUM and CUSUM Square test. The results suggest that in the long run, remittances have a positive and significant relationship with stock market development. However, foreign direct investment, foreign portfolio investment, and USD-PKR exchange rate do not have a significant impact on stock market development. The results also suggest that in the short run there is a negative relationship between FDI, USD-PKR exchange rate and market capitalization. Contrarily, we found a positive relationship between FPI and market capitalization. The results of Granger causality test suggest that remittances and USD-PKR exchange rate have a causal relationship with stock market development. Finally, we found no evidence of structural breaks in the dataset.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 자본시장에서 외국인투자자의 감시자 역할로부터 발생하는 영향력이 글로벌 금융위기에 따라 차별적으로 관찰되는지를 실증적으로 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 2003년부터 2015년까지 총 2,919개의 기업데이터를 수집하여 외국인투자자 지분율과 기업의 자기자본비용 사이의 상관관계분석을 글로벌 금융위기 상황여부에 따라 수행하였다. 실증분석 결과, 외국인투자자는 일반적으로 기업에 대한 감시자 역할(monitoring role)을 효과적으로 수행함으로서 국내 자본시장에서 순기능적인 역할을 하고 있었다. 그러나 글로벌 금융위기 시와 같이 자본시장의 위험 수준이 극대화될 경우에는 이들의 감시자 역할이 효과적으로 이뤄지지 못하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 연구는 외국인투자자의 영향력이 자본시장의 위험 수준에 따라 달라질 수 있음을 제시하였다는데 시장참여자들과 학계에 공헌 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) is projected to provide several chances for Vietnam's banking industry to expand into the international market. This study examines the influence of foreign ownership on credit risk in Vietnamese commercial banks before the context of participation in the CPTPP. Using a sample of 28 commercial banks between 2009 and 2020, we find that foreign ownership has a negative relationship with bank credit risk. The regression methods used include the least-squares method, fixed-effects model, random effects model, and general least squares method. The research model adds interactive variables, which will help to reflect the role of intermediary factors more accurately such as listing on the stock market, capital ratio to the relationship between foreign ownership and bank credit risk. The test results reveal that increasing the foreign ownership ratio has a bigger impact on reducing credit risk for listed banks and banks with low capital than for other commercial banks. The government should flexibly adjust the foreign ownership ratio according to the capital size and role of each bank so that it can make good use of investment capital from abroad when Vietnam joins the CPTPP.

국내증시는 1992년 1월 자본시장이 개방되고, 외국 자본의 비율이 꾸준히 증가하여 2022년 현재 국내 시장의 30%를 차지하고 있다. 따라서 국내 증시는 국내의 이슈보다는 외국의 이슈에 더 많은 영향을 받고 있다. 외국자본의 매매 동향은 환율변동과 유사한 흐름을 보이고 있다. 환율이 외국자본의 매매에 미치는 영향을 피어슨 상관관계를 이용하여 분석하고, 환율변동에 따른 투자전략을 마련하고 거시경제지표 중 하나인 환율의 변동을 미리 예측하여 선제적으로 주식투자에 활용할 수 있다면 높은 수익률을 기대할 것으로 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 환율과 외국자본의 매매 패턴을 비교 분석하여 국내증시 전반에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인인 환율에 따른 외국인 변수를 예측하여 매수와 매매의 타이밍을 판단하여 투자에 도움을 주기 위해 본 연구를 진행하였다.

이 연구의 주된 목적은 외국인 아내의 지위와 사회적 자본이 출산력에 미치는 영향을 중국, 베트남과 일본으로부터의 혼인이주자들을 대상으로 파악하기 위한 것이다. 소수집단의 지위와 이들이 지닌 사회적 자본이 사회경제적, 인구학적 변수들의 영향력을 통제한 후에도 출산력에 독립적 영향력을 행사한다는 주장을 검증하는데 분석의 초점이 맞추어졌다. 외국인 아내의 출산력 수준과 속도는 그들이 지닌 사회적으로 불리한 여건과 이주 후의 적응 수준을 반영하는 것으로 가정할 수 있다. 이 연구에서 한국에 거주하는 외국인 아내와 한국인 아내의 출산력을 비교분석하기 위하여 두 인구학적 조사의 원자료가 활용되었다. 이 연구의 분석결과는 한국에 거주하는 외국인 아내들이 한국인 아내들에 비해 자녀수가 적다는 것을 확인해준다. 출산간격 역시 한국인 아내보다 긴 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 외국인 아내의 사회적 자본이 클수록 출산행위를 촉진하는 효과가 있는 것으로 드러났다. 이주 후 현지 사회에의 통합과 동화의 수준이 높은 외국인 아내들 역시 상대적으로 자녀수가 많은 경향이 발견되었다.

Public diplomacy activities can benefit from social capital theory, when its social dynamics is elucidated in the investment of complex social networks and in the establishment and management of relationships with foreign publics. Social capital theory explains that actors can produce purposive actions to mobilize resources in social structures, which thus explains the dynamics of social interactions. In response to the lack of conceptual frameworks for understanding public diplomacy activities within social capital theory, we conducted a narrative literature review that intends to identify the means through which international actors, such as governments, engage with foreign publics through the dynamics of social networks and the resources embedded in them. In addition, we explored the multidimensional characteristics of social capital to enhance the comprehension of the manner in which actors access, share, and maintain resources in target communities, institutions, or organizations through public diplomacy activities. In summary, we highlight the importance of new theoretical explorations on the application of social capital theory to public diplomacy and the need for a research agenda in the field.
