abstract: 'Using the Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey 2008, we explore the

  differences in pro-poor growth performance in provinces in Vietnam

  according to the quality of the provinces'' institutions that support

  private sector activity. We exploit the localized and varying effect of

  French colonial legacy across Vietnamese provinces to address the

  endogeneity of institutions. We find strong and robust evidence of a

  positive effect of good-quality institutions that support private sector

  activity on pro-poor growth and that enhanced working hours and hourly

  wage and extended income from non-farm self-employment play critical

  roles in this outcome.'
