This
study examines the association between home countries’ economic policy
uncertainty (EPU) and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Vietnam.
Using data from 12 home countries from 2011 to 2022, we find that higher EPU
significantly leads to lower FDI inflows into Vietnam. Also, we investigate how
social connections between home countries and Vietnam, measured by the Social
Connectedness Index, moderate the EPU - FDI relationship. Our findings show
that social connectedness mitigate the negative impact of EPU on FDI by reducing
information friction and enhancing trust in uncertain policy environments.
These results are robust for home countries that experience periods of high
global uncertainty and geopolitical risk, and are members of APEC.
