Abstract
AbstractWe examine the possible impacts of enterprise zones (EZs) on local Vietnamese households between 2002 and 2008, using differences‐in‐differences and a panel‐event study. We layer four waves of household surveys using a census of EZs in 2007, based on the same commune identity for our household and individual analyses. Within 5 years of EZ establishment, we find they are associated with higher household incomes, an increase in private property prices, and an increase in working hours. However, we do not find a significant impact on household living expenditure or school attendance/working probabilities among members aged between 7 and 17 years. Neither do we find a significant impact on health outcomes.
