“…Second, a more favorable business environment has a positive effect on the whole formal sector's output growth. This finding is consistent with those of Thanh and Hoai (2020) and Dinh Thanh et al (2020) who claimed that economic growth at provincial level in Vietnam is affected by quality of local governance, which determines the conducive level of business environment. The transparence in policy-making together with strong dialogue between local government and the business sector can produce better policies that are tailored to the needs of businesses and promote business growth.…”

PurposeThis study focuses on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth of the formal sector comprising all foreign and domestic registered enterprises engaged in production of goods and services.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a balanced longitudinal data set for the period from 2006 to 2014 from secondary sources in 63 provinces/cities of Vietnam. The generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation for a dynamic panel data model is applied.FindingsThe greater the share of FDI in capital resource, the more favorable the output growth in the whole formal sector. The FDI enterprises are more productive than domestic formal firms, and the output growth of FDI firms creates a positive spillover effect on the output growth of domestic firms.Originality/valueThe effect of FDI on economic growth is investigated at subnational level for the whole formal economic sector as well as the formal domestic firms. The domestic and foreign industrial agglomerations and the business environment are also examined.

“…The GW potential exploitation reserve of the two aquifers Holocene (qh) and Pleistocene (qp) in Ninh Thuan province has been studied and calculated by many studies [4,[9][10][11]. Pham Ngoc Minh (2012) [4] determined the GW potential exploitation reserves by the proportion of separate static reserves for each stratum qh and qp with the average value is 330.59 m 3 /day/km 2 .…”

“…The result of calculating the GW potential reserves using the numerical modeling method (Modflow model) of Nguyen Minh Khuyen [9] in the Cai river basin in Phan Rang is 134,374 m 3 /day. Tong Ngoc Thanh et al, (2015) [11] calculated the GW potential exploiting reserves in freshwater areas of Ninh Thuan province by the method of taking the percentage of intrusion of static reserves, resulting in the average of freshwater and saline water being 468,126 m 3 /day and 53,883 m 3 /day, respectively. However, the reserve and quality of groundwater in Ninh Thuan province depend on many factors, such as topography, exploitation flow, natural conditions, rainfall infiltration amount, and demand for groundwater exploitation.…”

This paper presents the results and assessment of the groundwater exploitation reserves in coastal areas of Ninh Thuan province. The research was based on determining the exploitation reserves of all grid cells with dimensions 500 m × 500 m distributed in fresh-salted water areas of the Holocene (qh) and Pleistocene (qp) aquifers. Each grid was assigned the corrected hydrogeological parameter values (depth, gravity coefficient, hydraulic conductivity, and drawdown level). The calculation results show that the total amount of potential exploitation reserves in the entire qh and qp aquifers-distributed areas is 561.8 × 106 m3 per day, whereas in the freshwater area is 345.4 × 106 m3 per day (61.5%), and the saline water area is 216.4 × 106 m3 per day (38.5%). These potential exploitation reserves can be used for groundwater exploitation management and planning in Ninh Thuan province.

“…On the other hand, effective governance provides better service delivery in order to achieve a higher quality of life for citizens. Contrarily, weak governance can deteriorate the investment environment and increase risks related to investment decisions in the business sector (Thanh and Hoai, 2019). It is therefore not surprising why good governance has often been used to explain the good economic performance as well as the well-being of a society over the last decade. Although the relationship between public governance and economic growth is well established in existing literature, most empirical studies ignore the fact that the business sector often represents a channel through which public governance affects economic performance.…”

The public sector and public governance play a crucial role in the contemporary society which takes care of social needs. Therefore, it is not surprising that good governance has often been used to explain good economic performance as well as the well-being of a society over the last decade. However, the business sector often represents a channel through which public governance affects economic performance, which has largely been neglected in the existing literature. In this context, not much is known about the role of public governance in promoting research and development (R&D) in the business sector in the EU. Therefore, this article aims to explain the interaction between the public and business sectors in a cross-national setting by investigating the relationship between different public governance practices and business R&D activity. The aim is to be achieved by applying a multiple regression analysis on a cross-sectional dataset of EU member countries. The empirical results show the following. First, they reveal that, in general, public administration in the EU is predominantly based on neo-Weberian state rather than New Public Management governance practices. Second, they reveal that public governance practices have important implications for business R&D activity. They show that impartiality, accountability and efficiency enhance business R&D activity in the EU, while closeness deteriorates it. The findings of the article are especially beneficial for contemporary governments and policymakers to establish appropriate public governance and policy practices in the future.
