“…The introduction of human capital leads the elasticity of steady-state output with respect to the investment rate to be higher than in the standard Solow model. 7 In a related pa- 4 The implications of the Gourinchas and Jeanne (2006) analysis for the study of foreign aid were previously discussed in Temple (2010) In contrast to our approach, some discussions of virtuous circles see them as tightly connected to multiple equilibria. Fast growth can arise in moving from one equilibrium to another, and this may involve dynamic adjustments which reinforce one another.…”

“…similar ideas can be applied to foreign aid, even when aid is amplified by a capital externality or helps a recipient country to escape from a medium-run poverty trap. 4 We now discuss amplification effects and virtuous circles in more detail. An example of amplification is that, for a given capital-output ratio, the long-run elasticity of output with respect to TFP is greater than unity in the Solow and Ramsey models.…”

“…Vietnam's transition from a planned to a market economy was and still is driven by economic liberalization and, thus, massive Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows and an overall modernization of industry accompanied by the emergence of the private sector (Bloomberg, 2015;Mishra, 2011;Waibel, 2009). Since then, about 350,000 private companies are operating in a range of sectors from food processing, light manufacturing like garment and textile production and sophisticated financial services in Vietnam (Bai, Jayachandran, Malesky, & Olken, 2017).…”

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is facing notably high levels in current and future flooding. Simultaneously, the ongoing process of rapid industrialization is characterized by the strong emergence of manufacturing firms within the urban area. As manufacturing firms are at the frontline regarding damage caused by flooding, which is often neglected in risk analyses, we argue that the assessment of firms' exposure to flooding is essential for implementing an integrative flood risk governance. Hence, this study maps manufacturing firms in HCMC, using geocoding based on the Vietnam Enterprise Census (2005, 2015), and assesses whether they are exposed to future sea level rise. The maps developed visualize the expansion of manufacturing firms from 2005 to 2015 and the spatial distribution of firms exposed to future sea level rise in HCMC. Our results reveal that particularly domestic, private micro firms in labor-intensive industries, which represent the backbone of the local economy, are exposed, threatening their competitiveness and viability.

Chances, and challenges always are created in the fourth industrial revolution that has never faced in the past. Changing and renewing are necessary unless enterprises will come out of "playground" of the fourth industrial revolution. Currently, the navigational field, which has not been outside the "playground", has suffered from numerous challenges. Although the possible advantages of marine industry only include the seaport system and government support, the challenges and barriers are the majority. Labor, database management, digital technologies, infrastructures, investment, and customer's attractions are the existent trials of the maritime field. Improvement and renewing the educational program are compulsory. Furthermore, managing the database effectively is not easy. In Vietnam, the lack of synchronous infrastructures is also the enormous challenges of all industries in general and navigational field in particular. Moreover, the investment and customer attractions play the primary role to exist in the revolution. Some of the aspects of the maritime major in the fourth industrial revolution will be mentioned in the article. Also, supporting from Vietnam government as well as current challenges are thoroughly presented and analyzed to find the solutions for approaching the Industry 4.0. Among emerging challenges, the investment attraction, infrastructures, labor, database management, modern digital technology, and customer attraction may be considered as critical information for Vietnamese economy. Importantly, the challenges are analyzed to reveal that if these challenges can be transformed into the motivations, gaining achievements in 4.0 industrial revolution is not difficulty. Keywords-critical information; 4.0 industrial revolution; navigational field; the maritime industry.
