This paper discusses the foreign investors’ expectation and their experience when penetrating into Vietnam’s market. The role of the foreign entrants is also assessed. By synthesizing and analyzing relevant research and reports, several important insights are discovered. Firstly, the presence of foreign investors and banks improves market competition, efficiency, and stability. Wholly and partly foreign-owned banks provide the spillover effects in management quality, in the introduction of world standard banking products and services, and in the application of information technology. Secondly, by looking into the foreign owned banks, it is found that the banks’ foreign investors are not likely to play an influential role in managing the banks they invested in. The motive of the investors to control the invested companies leads to their decision of holdings withdrawing.","PeriodicalId":42721,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics Management and Accounting","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87243647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By applying the self-selection hypothesis and utilizing longitudinal data of firms in Vietnam on 27,664 observations from 2012 to 2018, we find that innovation strategies affect the probability and modes of integration into the global value chains. While firms that prioritize product innovation and research and development are more likely to export, those that focus on process improvement tend to sell more to foreign direct investment buyers. These relationships are influenced by the quality of the local business environment. The improved quality of the local business environment enhances the positive effects of these innovation strategies on firms’ integration into the GVCs. This enhancement effect is particularly important for small- and medium-sized firms. The findings suggest that to support firms in Vietnam to integrate into the GVCs, the quality of the local business environment must be improved and it could be done by enforcing public policies that are complementary to firms’ innovation policies.","PeriodicalId":42721,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics Management and Accounting","volume":"18 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72487787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus of the study is on behavioral intention to purchase smartphones and factors influencing purchasing intention. The development of the framework emerged from the discussion in the literature about the concepts of behavioral intention to purchase smartphones. The research follows the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The data and information collected are transferred into the entry template using statistical packages for social science. The study found that perceived usefulness or attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, trust of quality, and brand goodwill of consumers significantly influence the purchase intention and behavior of purchasing smartphones from China of young consumers in Bangladesh.

Tanzania's mining industry remains enticing to investors, owing to its expanding diversity. This paper assesses the impact of corporate income tax in the mining sector for the period of 1990 – 2020. The paper also sought to analyse the impact of other determinants of FDI namely, Political stability, Human capital and infrastructure on FDI inflow in the mining sector. \u0000Methodology: The study utilized secondary annual time series data collected from the World Bank (WB), Bank of Tanzania (BOT), and Foundation for Studies and Research on International Development (FERDI). The Autoregressive Distribution of Lags (Ardl) estimating approach was used to analyse the short-run and long-run relationship between FDI and corporate income tax as well as the aforementioned variables. \u0000Findings: A negative relationship between corporate income Tax and FDI inflow in the mining sector was confirmed. Thus, portraying both short-run and long-run effects of corporate income tax on FDI inflow in the mining sector. \u0000Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: To encourage and increase FDI inflow in the mining sector, the government of Tanzania requires concerted efforts with relevant authorities that will ensure a fair moderation of corporate income Tax which will in turn increase tax compliance. The concerted efforts carter for factors linked with FDI inflow such as corporate income tax, political stability, human capital quality, and infrastructure.

This is essential in achieving the Demographic Dividend. Age structure, fertility and education play a key role in the achievement of the Demographic Dividend. Although gains from age structure are crucial, its gains are not automatic. However, the inter-relatedness of fertility and education makes a reduction in fertility a cause and effect on investments in education. \u0000Methodology: This narrative review looks at studies discussing the Demographic Dividend from a development theory point of view. It is an attempt to explain how different countries within Sub-Saharan Africa are faring due to the inter-play between fertility and education. \u0000Findings: The results highlight how the Demographic Dividend is really an Educational Dividend. It also shows a negative correlation between education and fertility across regions and time. The political environment with emphasis on good governance plays a key role in harnessing the Demographic Dividend. Aside this, a fertility decline alone could worsen the existing economic conditions if it is not in tandem with higher education rates among young adults. This is in line with Ester Boserup’s view of seeing population as a resource. \u0000Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy (recommendation): A conducive political environment attracts investments and creates room for entrepreneurship and job creation which are necessary to be able to harness the Demographic Dividend.

{"title":"AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF KENYA’S HORTICULTURE EXPORT PERFORMANCE 2010 – 2021","authors":"J. Nzomoi, Japheth Mutua, Hosea Kiprop, A. Kathambi","doi":"10.47604/ijecon.1659","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47604/ijecon.1659","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The horticulture sector in Kenya has consistently dominated agricultural sector’s contribution to the economy’s GDP growth over the last two decades. This paper assesses the export performance of horticulture sector’s three main components of cut flowers, fruits and fresh vegetables for the period 2010 – 2021. The paper also sought to identify the challenges that affect the horticulture sector and propose ways of addressing the challenges. \u0000Methodology: The study utilized secondary annual time series data collected from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, the Central Bank of Kenya and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data and draw inferences and conclusions. \u0000Findings: The study shows that the value of export revenues from cut flowers have been consistently higher than the earnings from fruits and fresh vegetables for the twelve year period from 2010 to 2021 with the highest earnings being recorded in 2018 when the subsector earned Ksh 113 Billion. Fresh vegetables recorded higher earnings than fruits over the same period, except for the year 2021 when fruit earnings were higher (at Ksh 27 Billion) than earnings from fresh vegetables (at Ksh 18 Billion). This is despite the fact that fruit volumes were lower than the vegetable volumes, implying that the export prices for the fruits were much better than the vegetable prices. Results also show that when real GDP dipped to negative 0.3 per cent in 2020 mainly due to the effects of COVID 19, horticulture export earnings stood at Ksh 151 Billion, perhaps a display of sectoral resilience to the adverse economic effects associated with COVID 19. There does not seem to be a clear relationship between real GDP growth and export earnings from horticulture products during the ten-year period of analysis. This tends to invalidate the export-led growth hypothesis. Key challenges facing the sector include overreliance on the EU market, pest infestation, low production and productivity and high cost of airfreight. \u0000Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on these findings, the paper concludes that Kenya’s export performance is way below its potential and recommends increased production to meet global demand and diversification of markets and product range.","PeriodicalId":42721,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics Management and Accounting","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90993388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
