Abstract: To develop provincial economies, it is necessary to focus on not only the internal resources of a province but also the relationship among provinces which can lead to the spillover effect throughout the country. This paper examines the economic relationship and spillover effect between provinces in Vietnam by spatial regression approach with data collected from 2010 to 2017 from statistical yearbooks. The results show that there exists a spatial correlation between provinces in terms of provincial gross domestic product, capital investment and labor force. The results also demonstrate that capital and labor factors not only affect the gross domestic product of the host province but also affect the neighboring ones. The finding implies the significant spillover effect between provinces.
