The objective of this research project is to evaluate the effects of regional economic integration and the SEZs on the export growth and employment structure in the border areas of three countries along the Southern Economic Corridors (SECs), namely Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
There are five (5) specific aims under the above objective:
(1) To examine the flow of foreign direct investments into the border regions along the SECs and identify changes due to greater economic integration across the time.
(2) To analyze the enhancement of exports and its pattern by industry in the border areas.
(3) To contrast the export transformation obtained from (2) to the employment growth and structural change of the labour market in the same areas regarding wages and skill levels.
(4) To identify the nature of competing or supporting between SEZs in the three countries and
(5) To bring insights into the SEZ institutional factors and SEZ promotion policy of 3 countries for comparison and lessons learnt.
