Does foreign direct investment (FDI) promote or hinder good governance in a host state? In this article, I analyze the effects of FDI on subnational-level corruption across 63 provinces in Vietnam and find that FDI has both promoted and hindered control of corruption. Initially, FDI creates resources and incentives to improve governance and reduce corruption for early winner provinces. Yet, once FDI begins to pour in, different dynamics start to take effect. While the resources and incentives accrued to FDI-recipient provinces become less effective in further curbing corruption as more FDI flows in, FDI provides leaders of those provinces with growing opportunities and increased abilities to seek and pursue rents, leading to a prevalence of corruption. Using both qualitative and quantitative data, I find strong evidence that the control of corruption is weakest at the extremes: in provinces with the least and the most FDI.

下雨时倾盆大雨:外国直接投资和越南的省级腐败

外国直接投资 (FDI) 是促进还是阻碍东道国的良好治理?在本文中,我分析了 FDI 对越南 63 个省的地方级腐败的影响,发现 FDI 促进和阻碍了对腐败的控制。最初,外国直接投资创造了资源和激励措施,以改善早期获胜省份的治理和减少腐败。然而,一旦外国直接投资开始涌入,不同的动力就会开始发挥作用。虽然随着更多外国直接投资的流入,外国直接投资接受省份获得的资源和激励措施在进一步遏制腐败方面变得不那么有效,但外国直接投资为这些省份的领导人提供了越来越多的机会和更高的寻求和追求租金的能力,导致腐败盛行。使用定性和定量数据,
