Economic agglomeration and technical efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises: evidence from Vietnam
Abstract This article invests in analyzing the impact of economic agglomeration on the technical efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises: evidence from Vietnam. 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.
期刊介绍:
Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy (JAPE) is concerned primarily with the developing economies within Pacific Asia and South Asia. It aims to promote greater understanding of the complex factors that have influenced and continue to shape the transformation of the diverse economies in this region. Studies on developed countries will be considered only if they have implications for the developing countries in the region. The journal''s editorial policy is to maintain a sound balance between theoretical and empirical studies. JAPE publishes research papers in economics but also welcomes papers that deal with economic issues using a multi-disciplinary approach. Submissions may range from overviews spanning the region or parts of it, to papers with a detailed focus on particular issues facing individual countries. JAPE has a broad readership, which makes papers concerned with narrow and detailed technical matters inappropriate for inclusion. In addition, papers should not be simply one more application of a formal model or statistical technique used elsewhere. Authors should note that discussion of results must make sense intuitively, and relate to the institutional and historical context of the geographic area analyzed. We particularly ask authors to spell out the practical policy implications of their findings for governments and business. In addition to articles, JAPE publishes short notes, comments and book reviews. From time to time, it also publishes special issues on matters of great importance to economies in the Asia Pacific area.
