| 内容記述 | This report presents the research results implemented during April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019 of the Research Project on “Firms and Politicians”. The project is to investigate formal firm behavior in response to regional favoritism by top-ranked politicians in Vietnam during 2000 to 2011. Professor Hiroyuki Yamada (Keio University) and I conducted analysis on total employment in formal sector and total number of formal firms located in each of 444 rural districts in Vietnam. During 2000-2011, Vietnam passed 3 political terms. We investigated whether the home district of the top-ranked concurrent politicians would attract more firms and create more formal jobs once the politicians resumed office. We also examined whether this attraction disappeared after the politicians finished the political term. Our findings suggest that within the home districts of politicians, regional favoritism might be locally efficient because only private sectors respond. However, our findings also suggest that persistent favoritism might keep the districts that are not home to politicians at the lower levels of economic development. The key policy implications and challenges are whether this unbalanced regional growth induced by regional favoritism is tolerable and acceptable to Vietnam as a country. A selection of politicians within the party based on both population and geographical representatives may be an immediate solution. We thank Tsunehiro Otsuki, Barry Hirsch, Yoko Niimi, Charles Yuji Horioka, Wataru Kureishi, Jack Hou, and participants from 14th International Conference of the Western Economic Association International, 44th Annual Conference of the Eastern Economic Association, 2018 Spring Meeting of the Japanese Economic Association, and the 2018 Asian Meeting of the Econometric Society for their valuable comments and suggestions.
