Abstract:This paper examines whether rising import penetration has an effect on the productivity of domestic firms. The study uses data on a 10-year unbalanced panel of firms in the manufacturing sector in Vietnam from 2000 to 2009. Panel and instrumental variable methods are used to control firm heterogeneity and endogeneity of import penetration. We find statistically significant and negative effects of import competition on local firms' productivity, but the effect in terms of magnitude is economically small. Furthe… Show more
“…Their empirical results indicate that competition from China resulted in an increase of roughly 15 per cent in patents, IT intensity and productivity within surviving firms (Qiu and Zhan 2016). However, these findings on firms' behaviour and performance in developed countries may not hold for developing countries, where firms lack the capacity and resources to innovate and compete with similar imported products (Doan et al 2016).…”

“…However, there are almost no studies investigating the impact of Chinese imports on firms' innovation in Viet Nam. Only recently have Doan et al (2016) examined the effects of rising import penetration on the productivity of domestic firms. They find that imports have an adverse impact on firms' productivity, especially in small and medium enterprises.…”
This paper evaluates the impact of Chinese import penetration on the innovation of Vietnamese manufacturing firms from 2011 to 2015, exploiting variations in import exposure by industry specialization and instrumenting for Chinese import penetration using Chinese global exports. Contrary to the existing literature, the paper finds no systematic evidence that rising imports from China make domestic firms adopt new technologies or innovations in their products.

“…Measurement was in % growth to be able to capture the initial potential of P2P lending growth that impacted on the growth of bank loans and also to reduce bias between the data based on P2P platforms and the data based on banking in Indonesia. This is because the time-difference model can reduce the bias from the omitted variables (Doan et al, 2015;Nguyen et al, 2017). The control variables used were the macro data relevant in general with the use of loans, such as M2 (money supply) and inflation in Indonesia.…”
Peer to peer (P2P) lending in Indonesia has been growing rapidly, therefore there is the potential for disruptive innovation processes in the financial sector. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of the growth of P2P lending on the growth of bank lending for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) and Non-MSME debtors. Separating the scale of the debtor is important, given the initial process of disruptive innovation of reaching areas that are not the incumbent’s main target. The examination was conducted in this study using panel data regression, whereby the examination was done in stages. This was an overall examination without differentiating between the regions, further examination conducted with more detail by separating between the loans inside and outside Java Island. This is because the economic structure in Indonesia is still dominated by the regions in Java, but FinTech is generally able to grow in areas with less developed local economies. The result of this study is consistent overall, Java and outside Java Island, as shows that the growth in P2P lending in Indonesia does not have a significant impact on the growth of bank loans for Non-MSME lending. However, it does have a negative impact on the growth of bank loans for MSME lending. This is in line with the entrant’s disruptive trajectory process by which the entrants enter the competition through an underserved market (niche markets) and not through the main target market of the incumbent (MSME).
“…All the papers mentioned so far focus on the impact of Chinese competition on developed countries. As microlevel data becomes more available in developing countries, some papers are beginning to study the impact on these as well, such as Moreira et al (2017) for Brazil; Molina (2017) for Colombia; Álvarez and Claro (2009) for Chile; Blyde and Fentanes (2017), Iacovone et al (2013), and Utar and Ruiz (2013) for Mexico; Pierola and Sanchez (2018) for Peru;and Doan et al (2016) for Vietnam. However, no research using firm-level data has ever been done for El Salvador.…”
