Abstract: Over the course of reform, attracting substantial and rising amounts of inward FDI has made China and Vietnam become successful examples of transition to a market economy. Yet, the last two decades have experienced a widening gap in inward FDI between these two countries. Therefore, this paper aims to resolve this issue by providing an empirical analysis on the determinants of FDI into China and Vietnam. We find that the widening gap in inward FDI flows between China and Vietnam can be explained by two broad sets of main factors: one related to institutions and another to domestic macroeconomic stability.
