• TITLE: Identifying the Public Administration Reform Performance through the Lens of Provincial Competitiveness Index and GDP Per Capita in Vietnam

  AUTHORS: Thai Thanh Ha, Le Thi Van Hanh

  KEYWORDS: Vietnam; Public Administration Reform; Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI); GDP Per Capita

  JOURNAL NAME: Modern Economy, Vol.3 No.1, January 5, 2012

  ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to test the hypothesis of whether the public administration reform (PAR) and provincial competitiveness could be causally linked to the GDP welfare per capita in Vietnam. By adopting the factor analysis and then the natural logarithm linear regression, the author found out that there were causality linkages between those above mentioned parameters. Namely, legal institutions were the main huddles for GDP per head, while public administration reform services and public services delivery exert positive impacts on GDP per capita. The dynamism of provincial leadership was also positively influential to the GDP outcome for Vietnamese citizens. Conclusions and recommendations were drawn for Vietnamese policy makers to modernize the public administration reform process.
