| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 經營管理研究所 === 94 === Taiwan's traditional industries have been moving to Southeast Asian economies and China, in order to maintain their competitiveness. As a major target of Taiwan’s outward foreign direct investment, Vietnam has abundant natural resources, well-educated human resources, and a huge domestic market.
This paper analyzes the 1997-2000 regional and industry-specific panel data in Vietnam, including GDP and labor employment. All nominal terms are transformed into real terms in the 1994 prices.
Our major findings are as follows: (1) In every area the output value of the second industry is always greater than that of the first industry. (2) In every area the labor productivity of the second industry is always greater than that of the first industry. (3) Output values of the southern, northern, and central regions are, respectively, the highest, medium, and the lowest. (4) Labor productivities of the southern, northern, and central regions are, respectively, the highest, medium, and the lowest. (5) Vietnam, especially its southern region, should be a good location for Taiwan’s labor-intensive industries to invest in.
