Null hypothesis : H0 : U has normal distribution - Alternative hypothesis : Based on the result above, JB= < H1 : H0 is wrong = 1.128, whereas = 9.49 ( = 5%) we not have enough evidence to reject H0 This indicates that the disturbance term has normal distribution and the model is right with the assumptions of the Ordinary Least Squares estimator (The specific result and graph is shown in the Appendix, page 17 ) 12 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 2.3- Heteroscedasticity testing We detect heteroscedasticity by using White test, and the result is: Unadjusted R-squared = 0.489011 Test statistic: TR^2 = 22.005491, with p-value = P(Chi-square(14) > 22.005491) = 0.078502 P-value is equal to 0.078502 and greater than 0.05 On the other hand, we can test as following: - Null hypothesis : H0 : Var(Ui) = - Alternative hypothesis : Based on the result above, nR2 = for all i H1 : H0 is wrong = 22.00549, whereas, = (17)= 27.59 ( < = 5%) we not have enough evidence to reject H0 This indicates that disturbance term is homoscedastic and the model is right with the assumptions of the Ordinary Least Squares estimator (The specific result is shown in the Appendix, page 18 ) 13 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 2.4- Autocorrelation testing Although the structure of our economic data is cross-sectional data, we try testing our model with autocorrelation as Time-series data Then we get the result from DurbinWatson test: Durbin-Watson statistic = 1.73645 p-value = 0.171644 The P-value here is more than 0.05, this means our model does not have Autocorrelation Besides, we also have another table to prove that our model does not have Autocorrelation (The specific result is shown in the Appendix, page 19 ) 14 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Chapter 5: CONCLUSION 5.1 The optimal model: After conducting some tests, our group could find the most optimal model It is FDI = -3669.4 + 785.685 INDUSTRIAL ZONE + 4.49338 SCHOOL + 2043.06 POLICY + 2.53454 DENSITY 5.2 Practical significance: One of the striking developments in Vietnam in recent years has been the large external capital inflow mostly in the form of foreign direct investment (FDI) The effect of FDI has been largely positive on Vietnam’s domestic economy, providing an engine of economic growth by increasing productive capacity and enhancing productivity Foreign – invested operations now contribute to nearly 10% of Vietnam’s GDP, more than 30% of gross capital formation Therefore perception of factors which influence FDI infusion in Vietnam, nowadays, is getting more and more important 5.2 Model application: Using the OLS on this model has been very useful to determine that FDI in Vietnam is greatly affected by the number of industrial zones, schools, government policies and population density The overall outcome of the regression shows the robust results For the most of regressions run for this model the results show that the independent variables are important factors that influence the FDI attraction in Vietnam This regression indicates Therefore our group suggests some ideas to increase FDI inflows into Vietnam: 15 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com - Firstly, Vietnam must complete infrastructures by building more factories, industrial zones, improving transportation in order to make distribution faster and more convenient - Secondly, Vietnam government also needs to encourage foreign investor factors, issuing the open – policies, tries to create an equal business environment - Last but not least, we should concern more about quantity as well as quality of work force To make sure the good work source, whole society must focus and spend money on building schools, universities, replacing old facilities by modern ones, advance teacher’s capacity… 16 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com APPENDIX Multicollinearity 17 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Normality of residual testing 18 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Heteroscedasticity 19 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Autocorrelation testing 20 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ... identify the main factors that help with the attraction of foreign direct investment capital in a locality of Vietnam The survey results that there are some factors that have been evaluated as much... locations in Vietnam, our group chooses the topic: ? ?THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE INFUSION OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT CAPITAL INTO A LOCALITY IN VIETNAM? ??
