- Abstract
This paper examines the determinants of foreign direct investment in the Southern Central Coast (SCC) region of Vietnam over the period 2007–2016 by a spatial econometric approach. The estimation results show that FDI inflows in the SCC region are attracted by the cheap labor cost of the host province, and provinces that own national seaports have great advantages in attracting FDI, confirming the vertical FDI form in the SCC region. Interestingly, skilled labor force in the surrounding provinces has a positive impact on FDI inflows in the host province. In particular, regarding the role of local institutional quality, the estimation shows that the legal institutions and level of social security in the host province play important roles in attracting FDI.
