摘要 本研究以越南为例，探讨了国家之间的相对经济距离（RED）对双边对外贸易和外国直接投资（FDI）的影响。人均国内生产总值的差异被用作越南与其伙伴国家之间的红色代表。使用面板修正标准误差 (PCSE) 程序来估计修正重力模型。结果表明，越南贸易与FDI流入之间存在反馈且显着的正相关关系。越南与伙伴国之间的经济距离对该国的双边贸易和外国直接投资流入具有显着的积极影响。
Abstract This study examines the effect of relative economic distance (RED) between countries on bilateral foreign trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), using Vietnam as a case study. The difference in per-capita GDP is used as proxy for the RED between Vietnam and her partner countries. Modified gravity models are estimated using the procedure of panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE). The results indicate that there is a feedback and significantly positive relationship between Vietnam’s trade and FDI inflows. The economic distance between Vietnam and her partner countries has a significantly positive influence on the country’s bilateral trade and FDI inflows.
