  • Intellectual capital and economic growth: new evidence from Vietnam   Order a copy of this article
    by Ha Minh Tri, Cong Tam Trinh 
    Abstract: The significance of intellectual capital as a valuable intangible asset has been known to enhance enterprises performance and long-term viability, thus contributing to countries socio-economic progress. However, our understanding of the impact of intellectual capital on economic growth remains limited. This paper aims to clarify this impact, focusing on 63 provinces and cities in Vietnam over the period 20052021. We find, via the GFLS estimation, that intellectual capital was the key driver of economic growth across these provinces (and within this timeframe). During the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of intellectual capitals indicators on economic growth were relatively minor. Our findings also indicate that financial development and urbanisation are the primary determinants of economic growth. The article provides valuable policy insights for both the Vietnamese government and businesses concerning the development of intellectual capital, a crucial driver of economic growth and prosperity.
    Keywords: intellectual capital; COVID-19 pandemic; economic growth; financial development; Vietnam.
