However, the mechanism by which Customer to Customer (C2C) eWOM in SNSs influences consumer purchase intention has yet to be fully understood. This study develops a comprehensive research framework that focuses on the influence of C2C eWOM using information persuasion in reference to purchase decision making. This study collected data from a sample of 314 Taiwanese respondents, using paper-based questionnaires. The programs SPSS and Smart PLS were used to analyze the collected data. The results show that perceived persuasiveness, perceived informativeness, and source expertise are adequate predictors of the usefulness of eWOM. Additionally, perceived persuasiveness, source expertise, and source trustworthiness significantly predict the believability of eWOM with regard to SNSs. It was found that perceived usefulness and credibility togethe...

Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test is used to assess unit root in the concerned data series. Johansen cointegration approach is applied to examine the long run relationship and the Granger causality test is thus performed in the context of the vector error correction model. The empirical findings reveal that domestic investment growth and export growth directionally caused FDI inflows growth while the direction from FDI inflows towards investment growth and export growth is not identified in this study. Additionally, the significant unidirectional causal relationship is found between foreign direct investment growth and exchange rate movement. This study also explores that domestic investment bidirectionally causes export growth. Furthermore, the strong bidirectional linkage is found between exchange rates and domestic investment. However, this study could not provide any further evidence concerning causal relationships running from exchange rate depreciation to export growth and foreign direct investment growth in the case of Vietnam.
