This paper investigates the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and the productivity of domestic firms in Vietnam.

We also identify productivity effects associated with technology transfers from upstream wholly foreign-owned firms. This is the first time that evidence of productivity effects due to forward linkages has been identified in a developing country context.
