“…However, Dritsaki et al (2004) document a unidirectional causality from FDI by MNCs to export growth. Similarly, Bhatt (2013) provides empirical evidence supporting a positive association between FDI and export growth for Vietnam. Xuan and Xing (2008) also provide empirical evidence linking FDI as one of the major factors driving the rapid export growth of Vietnam.…”

In 2015, Pope Francis released his second papal encyclical, Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home (Francis, 2015), the central idea of which is the Holy Father's concern for the future of our planet, our common home, and to seek sustainable and integral development. The purpose of this article is to examine critically and empirically the specific notion of ecological debt as described in the encyclical (Francis, 2015: 51 and 52), beginning with a historical background on the origins and use of the term. We then touch upon the Pope's discussion of ecological debt and his indictment of multinational corporations (MNCs) in Laudato Si', which resonate with the so-called pollution haven hypothesis (PHH) which states that pollutionintensive industries in developed countries relocate their "dirty" industries to developing countries with relatively lax environmental regulations. In a similar vein, we propose that a rise in total greenhouse gases is associated with the resource extraction and commodity export-based activities of MNCs in developing countries where such activities and their resultant pollution are subject to less stringent regulations due to imperatives for economic growth. This creates an ecological debt when commodity exports from developing countries to more developed ones come at the cost of the environment in the former. Our article thus connects Laudato Si' with PHH, enabling us to examine empirically the Pope's statement that the "export of raw materials to satisfy markets in the industrialized North has caused harm locally" (Francis, 2015: 51).

The country has displayed high rates of economic growth as well as an impressive performance in financial integration and trade liberalization.…”

This paper examines the macro-economic performance of Vietnam through the six phases of Doi Moi reform and analyzes the impact of external liberalization on economic growth, aggregate demand, employment and income distribution. The decomposition of aggregate demand suggests that private investment was the most important determinant of Vietnamese economic growth during the period of 1994 – 2011, while government expenditure has become more significant since 2005, and the external sector together with government expenditure are the important driving factors of Vietnamese economic growth since 2012. The decomposition of overall labor productivity highlighted the fact that sectoral productivity growth of the service sector plays an important role in the improvement of overall labor productivity in Vietnam.

“…Moreover, it was also revealed that there was a negative relation between exports and overseas operations and the distance. Bhatt (2013) has collected data from the International Monetary Fund and UNCTAD, from the year 1978-2009 in China. The author has attempted to examine the different dimensions of foreign direct investment in China.…”
