the effects of fishery exports on the economic  
growth are yet to be thoroughly studied in  
an econometric approach. An econometric  
approach with stationary and co-integration  
tests and vector error correction models used  
in this study allows forecasting a persistence  
of the effects of fishery exports on Vietnamese  
GDP despite of different seasonal business.  
For the long run estimation, a double  
increase in national fishery exports revenue  
would raise the GDP by 7%. This has a great  
economic meaning in developing process of  
Vietnamese economy. In reverse direction,  
Vietnamese fishery exports would increase  
by 5.2% with a 10% increase in its GDP.  
Confirming the role of fishery exports in  
national economic growth, it is necessary  
for the sector to improve its competitive  
capacity.  
In international trade, there were also  
some industries enjoying an international  
comparative advantage, recently. These  
sectors could produce world class  
commodities for modest export sectors.  
The sectors communicated and traded  
with buyers in other countries. Markets are  
speedily globalized. The modern theory of  
trade has been designed and proponed by  
Paul Krugman, who suggested that trade  
trends in countries are developing key  
industries for export in order to get economic  
gain or growth. The key industries produced  
sectoral exports of the countries.

development strategy of many countries.

Fishery exports, according to  
Cunningham (2000), Schmidt (2003),  
and FAO (2007), can act as an engine of  
growth for developing countries endowed  
with large fish resources. In addition,  
fishery exports revenue can contribute to  
economic growth in developing countries  
by providing an important source of cash  
revenue (Valdimarsson, 2003, Ahmed,  
2003, and Bostock et al., 2004). Fishery

II. methodology  
Model specifications  
To investigate the association between  
the growth of exports and economic  
performance, some theoretical models were  
considered. The first is the neo-classical  
growth model  
Y = f ( K, L )  
(1)  
whereYis aggregate real output, K and  
L represent capital and labor, respectively.  
The second theoretical base is from  
the framework suggested by Feder (1982)  
in which the economy consists of export

and non-export production. However, (Cunningham, 2000, Schmidt, 2003, FAO,  
output in the export production generates 2007), this study follows a conceptual model  
an externality effect in the non-export based on an augmented Cobb–Douglas  
sector, such as efficient management production function as followings  
and competitive environment, improved  
production techniques, better quality  
management and workers, and continuous  
flow of imported inputs. Feder’s model of  
economic growth can be shown as:  
Yt = f (Lt, Xt, EXRt)  
(5)  
whereY,L,EXRarerealgrossdomestic  
product, labor force, and real exchange rate,  
respectively. Variable X represents fishery  
exports revenue in an effort to explore its  
effect on national economic growth.  
N = f ( KN, LN, X ),  
X = g ( KX, LX ),  
(2)  
(3)  
Because tra/basa catfish and shrimp  
are the most important products for  
Vietnamese fishery export and demand for  
their exports is seasonal (Kinnucan and  
Miao, 1999), dummy variables for quarters  
in a year are added in the model (5) with  
the first quarter is used as base variable.  
The dummy variable for yearly quarters,  
QDi, gets value of ‘1’ if the value is of  
quarter (i), otherwise it gets value of ‘0’.  
The Bilateral Trade Agreement signed in  
2001 between the US and Vietnam as well  
as the US antidumping measures against to  
Vietnamese fishery products (such as frozen  
catfish and shrimp) since 2003 may have  
an effect on Vietnamese fishery exports.  
Two binary dummy variables, BTA and AD,  
therefore were employed into econometric  
where N- domestic non-export production  
X - domestic export production  
KN, KX = capital stocks, respective for  
non-export and export production  
LN, LX = labor forces, respective for  
non-export and export production  
f, g are conventional production  
functions  
Several authors have tested the effect  
of exports on the economic growth in the  
following production function, which is  
referred to as the Balassa approach (1978,  
cited by Sheehey, 1990)  
ΔY = α0 + α1ΔK + α2ΔL + α3ΔX + e  
(4)  
where Y is the real GDP, K is the  
real capital stock, L is the labor force, models to isolate the possible effects of the  
trade policies.  
and X is merchandise real exports. The  
symbol ∆ indicates annual percentage rates  
of growth.  
Subsequently,themodel(5)ismodified  
to become an empirical model:  
Yt = f (Lt, Xt, EXRt, QD2t, QD3t, QD4t, BTAt, ADt)  
(6)  
This model is based on a hypothesis  
that marginal productivities are higher in  
export production due to the scale effects  
and externalities associated with export  
production. Given the labor force and  
capital stock, expansion of the export sector  
will raise GDP growth (Ngoc et al., 2003).  
In addition, not only has the economic  
literature adopted a supply-side approach as  
the basic framework to test empirically the  
relationship between export and growth, but  
also nearly all the studies mentioned have  
specified a linear relation.

Effects of fishery exports on  
Vietnamese GDP  
not much surplus in fishery production to  
export. Values of fishery exports in second  
quarters are higher than that in first quarters  
because all production activities in Vietnam  
start in normal operation after holiday. The  
figures are improved well in third and fourth  
quarters in efforts to achieve annual export  
targets of fisheries enterprises.  
The regression estimated that, in  
short-run, fishery exports affect much on  
GDP (absolute value of t-stat is 3.386) but  
the sign of this relationship is minus. Values  
of both GDP and fishery exports in all three  
quarters 2, 3 and 4 increase relative to that  
in quarter 1 because annual quarter 1 is the  
holiday season of Vietnamese people. Most  
of the people are likely to relax and get fun  
after one working hard year, leading to an  
decease in the productivity in Vietnamese  
economy and a reduction in GDP values.  
Further, in the first quarter of each year, most  
of Vietnamese fishery outputs are prioritized  
to serve domestic market, thus, there is  
Real exchange rate and the bilateral  
trade agreement between Vietnam and the  
US seem to decrease Vietnamese GDP and  
increase fishery exports but these effects are  
not statistically significant. The results are  
unlikely to favor the recent argument that  
a devaluation of Vietnam dong against to  
US dollar would increase exports and in its  
turn, increase GDP. The US anti-dumping

(2008), Dritsakis (2004), and Thompson and  
Thompson (2010). In further implication,  
the results have also confirmed the  
contribution of exports to economic growth  
as documented in lots of literature. Vohra  
(2001), for instance, finds exports have a  
positive impact on economic growth when a

Expanding the differences, the long  
run equation for lnYCAP is derived as:  
lnYCAPt = 0.96*lnYCAP(t-1) – 0.15*lnYCAP(t-2) - In another study, Lee and Pan (2000) provide

Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.  
(2)  
The result in Equation 2 estimates  
an increase in GDP of Vietnam during all  
three quarters 2, 3, and 4 relative to the first  
quarter annually. The BTAbetween Vietnam  
and the USA seems not to give a significant  
effect (P>0.05) on the growth of Vietnam as  
expected (Table 2).  
Effects of GDP on Vietnamese fishery  
exports  
In similar derivation, the empirical  
estimation for the equation of Vietnamese  
fishery exports is expressed as follows:  
dlnXCAP = 0.52*( lnYCAP(-1) - 0.35*lnXCAP(-1)  
4.42) + 0.73*dlnYCAP(-1) - 0.44*dlnXCAP(-1)  
-
Although fishery exports depress  
Vietnamese GDP in its first lag, it is  
estimated to increase the GDP in its second  
lag with larger effect. The negative effect in  
short-run of fishery exports on Vietnamese  
GDP may be explained by the increasing  
contribution of aquaculture production on  
fishery exports revenue but the farming  
sectorisincreasinglydependingonimported  
inputs such as feed ingredients, medicals and  
chemicals (Thanh, 2011). In long run, with  
summation of the two lags, fishery exports  
are likely to increase the GDP. For the long  
run estimation, a conclusion can be pointed  
out that Vietnamese GDP will increase 0.7%  
with a 10% c.p. increase in its fishery exports  
revenues. In other words, if other variables  
did not vary or their effects on Vietnamese  
GDP were not isolated, as value of fishery

The above equation is expanded and

The long run estimation derived in  
Equation 4 confirms an increase in fishery  
exports of Vietnam in all three yearly  
quarters 2, 3, and 4 relative to the first  
quarter. Vietnamese GDP was likely to raise  
fishery exports in its first lag. Although  
fishery exports were estimated to be lowered  
by GDP in second lag, with a summation  
for two-lag effects, the GDP would increase

Iv. Conclusion and Suggestion  
As data values of Vietnamese fishery  
exportsanditsGDPpresentsaco-integration,  
Vector Error Correction Modeling was  
an appropriate alternative. The long run  
estimation confirms an increase in fishery  
exports of Vietnam in all three last quarters  
(2, 3, and 4) relative to the first quarter  
yearly. The regression results also exhibit  
an economic impact of fishery exports in  
Vietnam. Although causing an estimated  
decrease in economic growth in short time,  
Vietnamese fishery exports, generally, are  
estimated to raise its national GDP in long  
time with its positive effects in accumulated  
two lags, during the period 1997 – 2008. For  
the long run estimation, a conclusion can  
be pointed out that Vietnamese GDP would  
increase 7% with a double ceterus parabus  
increase in its fishery exports value. This  
finding has a great economic meaning in  
developing process of the economy. An  
increase in exports of a sector like fishery  
is likely to create a growth in economy and  
in its turn, economic growth also boosts up  
a growth of a sector. Vietnamese fishery  
exports would increase by 5.2% with a 10%  
increase in its GDP. Confirming the role of  
export-led growth strategy in development  
economics, this study merits contributing
