It is made to measure ten elements regarding the ease of doing business, economic governance and administrative reform efforts by local governments of 63 provinces in Vietnam so as to create a favorable environment for private sector development. Despite the fact that the higher the PCI score of any province, the more attractive it is to enterprises; the efficiency level of each province when combining certain PCI elements and human real life aspects, for example education or standard of living, is left unanswered. To discover this untouched aspect, I will categorize all PCI elements into several input groups, classify human life aspects into corresponding outputs, put them all to the second model named Data Envelopment Analysis, test efficiency and try to answer the research question: “How were the rankings of provincial competitiveness throughout Vietnam during the period of 2014-2016?†. The body of this paper is split into three parts. The first part introduces PCI model, its measurement, methodology, ranking result and current trends. Next, DEA is discussed in the second part, together with its measurement, methodology and a simple example in order to get the general idea of how DEA works. Lastly, efficiency test via DEA method is conducted in the third part where comments are given at the end of each test. |
