Giang, D T H (2013) Developing critical capacities for the efficient use of public investments in infrastructure to support trade and economic development in Vietnam. PhD thesis, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Abstract
The thesis studies critical factors affecting the efficient use of public investments in infrastructure to support trade and economic development. Investments in infrastructure have increasingly been used to improve the infrastructure quality, thus stimulating trade and economic growth in developing countries. Nevertheless, a number of infrastructure challenges faced by developing countries remain. This raises the question about the efficiency in the use of public investments in infrastructure. Examining how to use public investments in infrastructure more efficiently to support trade and economic development, this study found the answer in the way infrastructure of a country is planned and built. This study also attempts to isolate key factors in the process that could limit the efficient use of public investments in infrastructure. A model of the impacts of the key factors on the efficient use of public investments in infrastructure was examined and validated.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
