“…Furthermore, these studies a used two-step estimation, which may be biased. The results of this paper are close to the research of Nguyen and Wu (2020), who found that the export efficiency of Vietnam was 0.48, and the export efficiency of Vietnam's textile, leather, and footwear as a sector was about 0.414 in the 1996-2014 period.…”

“…Researchers have mixed opinions about how to model the inefficiency term ujt to estimate the impacts of potential factors influencing efficiency. While some economists assume that ujt depends only on "behind the border" factors (Kalirajan & Singh, 2008;Nguyen, 2020), others believe that both "behind the border" and "beyond the border" factors impact efficiency (Armstrong, 2015;Nguyen & Wu, 2020). This paper follows the later approach because both exporters and importers should eliminate their trade resistance if maximum export is to be achieved.…”

“…However, the influence can be different from one trade partner to another. Therefore, "behind the border" and "beyond the border" values should be weighted averages with the share of each country in two countries' total GDP as weights (Nguyen & Wu, 2020).…”

While free trade agreements (FTAs) can provide access to new markets, it is not automatic that producers of home countries can export to the maximum level that can be predicted by market size and level of trade liberalization. Hence, it is necessary to know the level of export efficiency and its determinants if countries want to maximize the benefits of their global integration efforts. Textiles and garments are important exports and growth drivers of Vietnam, but their export efficiency has not been studied before. This paper aims to bridge this gap in the literature by estimating the export efficiency of Vietnam's textile and garment exports to 28 EU countries and identifying its determinants, which are both behind and beyond the borders. This paper uses a panel data of Vietnam’s textile and garment exports to 28 EU countries over the period from 2007–2019 and a stochastic frontier gravity model (SFGM) with the one-step estimation method for empirical analysis. Its findings suggest that the efficiency of Vietnam’s textile and garment exports to EU countries is relatively low but it increases over the period of study. Regarding determinants of efficiency, the paper found that infrastructure, technology readiness, and quality of institutions have significant impacts on the efficiency to various degrees and at different significance levels.

“…Analysing companies of different ages and sizes in emerging economies, LiPuma, Newbert & Doh [27] found that the development of institutions has a significant influence on all groups of companies. Nguyen & Wu [28] showed that export volumes of Vietnamese firms are positively correlated with the quality of public administration in the country. Li, Vertinsky & Zhang [29] obtained similar results based on data on export activity of Chinese firms.…”

Any government strives to stimulate export activity in high-tech sectors of its economy. Surprisingly, there are few empirical papers on the determinants of high-tech export to date. This study analyses the economies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) due to the differences they experienced in the transition period. To this end, we used the Balassa index, which is based on the concept of revealed comparative advantages. The research examines 73 groups of products from the automotive, chemical, mechanical engineering, electronics and electrical engineering industries in 27 countries from 1995 to 2018. Principal component analysis helped generate an indicator of comparative advantage of hightech industries for each country in each year. It is revealed that CEE countries, as well as the Baltic countries, have achieved significant success in the development of high-tech sectors of the economy, while the CIS countries have shown practically no progress in this direction. The article tests hypotheses on the impact of resources, foreign trade, macroeconomy and innovation on export activity in the country. The following factors stimulate the export growth in high-tech industries of the studied countries: level of wages and resource prices, openness of the economy to foreign trade; tax rate; unemployment rate; quality of human capital. We did not find empirical evidence of the positive impact of inflation, inflows of direct foreign investment, and the level of research and development (R&D) costs on the volume of high-tech export of the examined economies.

The purpose of this paper is to define and measure the key factors affecting the export performance of riceand coffee of some companaies Viet Nam. Results drawn from this study propose some implications for rice-exporting firms and coffee-exporting firms to increase their export performance. The article uses both qualitative and quantitative research methods The former was conducted in two phases by means of focusing on group discussions: the first group discussion involved 10 chief executive officers (05 rice-exporting firms, and 05 coffee-exporting firms) to explore factors that affect the export performance, the second one was conducted with another 10 chief executive officers (05 rice-exporting firms, and 05 coffee-exporting firms) to refine the observational variables of research concepts (based on the findings of the first focus group). And the latter was conducted through interviews with 232 owner/export managers (from rice-exporting firms, and coffee-exporting firms) in Viet Nam. The results show that: (i) export performance is affected by marketing strategies, management characteristics, domestic market characteristics, and foreign market characteristics; and export barriers; and (ii) marketing strategies are affected by management characteristics, and foreign market characteristics. However, the research has some certain limitations: (i) the sample size only consisted of rice-exporting firms and coffee-exporting firms, (ii) The sampling technique of the study is the convenience sampling.
