Small states have particular features that justify the need for a deeper analysis. Based on a panel data for 42 small states between 2005 and 2019, results clearly indicate the importance of the quality of human capital and the availability of infrastructures as the strongest drivers of FDI in small states. The country's level of openness, the availability of natural resources, the level of corporate tax and control of corruption also seems to play a relevant role therein. Moreover, the results suggest that the determinants differ depending on the region to which the country belongs and differ between island and non-island countries. These results can help small countries in defining policies that help them to attract FDI, which is crucial for their sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":"28 1","pages":"457 - 483"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49018122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that between and within cultural heterogeneity has a negative and statistically significant effect on post-acquisition performance, but the effect of acquisition experience on post-acquisition performance is positive. We find that the dynamic marginal effects of cultural heterogeneity and acquisition experience on post-acquisition performance of Chinese PLCs are contingent on the scale of acquisition. Chinese PLCs can improve their post-acquisition performance by overcoming the issues arising from cultural heterogeneity, accumulating acquisition experience, and exploiting economies of scale. However, in the case of state-owned PLCs, prior cross-border acquisition experience can adversely affect the performance of new cross-border acquisitions.","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":"28 1","pages":"738 - 765"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48060575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stochastic frontier analysis and the general method of moments were employed to analyze data collected from the enterprise surveys of the General Statistics Office of Vietnam in the period 2013–2016. The research results show that technical efficiency and economic agglomeration tend to increase in Vietnamese small and medium-sized enterprises. Moreover, the economic agglomeration contributes positively to the increase in technical efficiency, while the upstream economic agglomeration has not made a clear contribution to the technical efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises in Vietnam. At the same time, factors such as cost management effectiveness, firm age, and export activities play an active role in improving technical efficiency for Vietnamese small and medium-sized enterprises.","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":"28 1","pages":"716 - 737"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13547860.2021.1902600","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44499624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
