Popis: Aims: The scope of this study is twofold. We aim to test efficiency convergence hypothesis among firms in Vietnamese manufacturing industry, and to analyze the influence of foreign direct investment (FDI) on efficiency and efficiency convergence. Study Design: Case study Place and Duration of Study: Technical efficiency measures are derived for a sample of Vietnamese manufacturing firms during 2000-2012 Methodology: nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA). The approach to find the impacts of FDI on efficiency and efficiency convergence through horizontal and vertical spillover effects is to construct the linkages from dynamic input - output tables. The way to test unconditional convergence in the two technical efficiency measures from DEA is used the regression in the form
