Impact of the United States' “friend-shoring” strategy on Vietnam's exports in the context of global supply chain shifts

Tóm tắt

This study examines the impact of the Friend-shoring Index (FSI) on Vietnam’s exports to the United States, thereby clarifying the role of political and institutional alignment in shaping bilateral trade dynamics amid the ongoing restructuring of global supply chains. Using a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), the study estimates the short- and long-run effects of the FSI on Vietnam’s exports and conducts causality and model stability tests to ensure the robustness and reliability of the empirical results. Drawing on these findings, the study provides policy implications for enhancing Vietnam’s capacity to leverage the friend-shoring trend as a new driver of sustainable export growth over the long term.
