''Determinant factors of TFP convergence: Evidence from Vietnamese manufacturing firms from 2000-2012'' |
( 2016, Vol. 36 No.3 ) |

The paper finds an evidence for a beta-convergence in TFP of Vietnamese manufacturing firms during the period 2000-2012. It appears that an unconditional convergence shows a lower speed than conditional one. In addition, the firms' TFP convergence is rather related to their characteristics than their geographic location and/or industrial characteristics. |
