SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP30 - Trương Trần Minh Thư
DESCRIPTION:Corruption\, shadow economy and economic growth: investigating in emerging countries \nStudent: Trương Trần Minh Thư\, VNP-30 \nSupervisor: Assoc.Prof.Dr. Võ Tất Thắng \nAbstract: \nThe relationship between corruption\, the size of the shadow economy\, and economic growth is a complex and controversial topic\, especially in the context of developing countries that are\ncharacterized by weak institutions and bureaucratic burdens. The study uses panel data of 40 developing countries in the period from 2009 to 2020 to investigate the relationships among corruption\, shadow economy and economic growth. The study applies different regression methods\, from the basic Pooled OLS regression method to 2SLS and IV-GMM methods incorporating respective instrumental variables and jack-knifed method to address endogeneity. The results reflected a relationship between corruption and the shadow economy as corruption positively affects the expansion of the shadow economy and negatively impact on economic growth. The study also pointed out the impact of the shadow economy on increasing corruption and hindering economic development in developing countries but still should further investigation due to certain limitations. According to the above empirical results\, a number of policy proposals were developed to emphasize the importance of governance quality\, optimization intermediary channels to narrow the size of underground economic and minimize the negative impacts of corruption on economic development. \nKeywords: shadow economy\, corruption\, economic growth\, IV-GMM\nJEL classification: C26\, D73\, O17\, O47

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP30 - Lê Thị Mỹ Quỳnh
DESCRIPTION: Impact of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy on area of plastic dump site in Indonesia \nStudent: Lê Thị Mỹ Quỳnh\, VNP-30 \nSupervisor: Prof. Dr. Lorenzo Pellegrini & Dr. Trương Đăng Thụy \nAbstract: \nPlastics are deeply embedded in modern economies due to their versatility\, durability\, and low cost\, yet they also cause long-term environmental damages\, which require environmental policies to counter this issue. This thesis investigates the correlation between Indonesia’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy and the dynamics of plastic dump sites across 34 provinces from 2017 to 2021. Leveraging satellite‑derived data\, from Global Plastic Watch (GPW) and provincial macro‑economic indicators the research adopts a fixed‑effects regression model to evaluate changes in plastic dump-site area and its growth rate before and after the enactment of EPR in a developing country context – Indonesia. The findings indicate that the introduction of EPR is associated with a statistically significant reduction in the expansion of plastic dump sites\, even after controlling for GDP\, population\, industrial activity\, and foreign direct investment (FDI). Robustness checks incorporating shocks in plastic waste trade balance and industrial-FDI interaction terms reveal that after EPR implementation\, the positive early-stage change in environmental performances are most pronounced in provinces with higher industrial concentration and greater FDI inflows\, suggesting capacity-dependent compliance and technology transfer mechanisms. While Indonesia’s EPR remains voluntary\, the results imply that it is associated with corporate behavior and environmental outcomes. This study provides early empirical evidence on the presence of EPR in a developing-country context could contribute to better environment and highlights the importance of industrial structure and international investment in enabling circular-economy transitions. \nKey words: Extended producer responsibility\, Environmental policy\, Eco-design\, Plastic waste\, Plastic dump site

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Huỳnh Thị Kiều Trinh
DESCRIPTION:The gender gap in agricultural credit access and its impact on rice productivity \nStudent: Huỳnh Thị Kiều Trinh\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Trương Đăng Thụy \nAbstract: \nVietnam is a prominent player in global agricultural exports\, with rice being one of its most significant commodities. In recent years\, the country has experienced robust growth in rice exports\, contributing approximately 12.5% to the global market and ranking just behind India and Thailand. Despite strong export performance\, challenges related to production efficiency remain. This study examines the role of access to credit in shaping rice production outcomes\, utilizing data from the 2022 Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS). By employing Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and quantile regression (QR) techniques\, the research investigates how credit constraints\, household socio-demographic characteristics\, and gender differences influence productivity and Technical Efficiency (TE). The findings indicate heterogeneous effects of credit across households\, with more pronounced impacts among higher-productivity farmers\, while its direct effect on TE is limited. Gender differences in credit access and production outcomes are highlighted\, providing important insights and policy implications for promoting equitable financial access and sustainable agricultural development. \nKeywords:  Rice production efficiency\, Gender disparities\, Credit constraints\, Vietnam \nJEL classification: Q12\, J16\, D24

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Ngô Đức Duy
DESCRIPTION:Migrant transfers and on-farm investment under climate stress \nStudent: Ngô Đức Duy\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Binyam Demena & Dr. Hồ Quốc Thông \nAbstract: \nRural households in Vietnam’s Central and Central Highlands provinces face frequent climate hazards that disrupt timely purchases of seeds\, fertilizer\, land preparation\, irrigation\, and hired labor. Meanwhile\, rural-urban and international migration generate remittance inflows\, which may ease short-term liquidity constraints. This study examines whether remittances increase farm input spending in normal years\, whether climate shocks reduce such spending\, and whether remittances offset these reductions. The analysis uses three waves of the Thailand-Vietnam Socio-Economic Panel (2013\, 2016\, and 2017) for Ha Tinh\, Thua Thien Hue\, and Dak Lak. The models use village-by-year leave-one-out averages of other households’ remittances as a network shifter and include household fixed effects to control for time-invariant differences. Results show that remittances increase input spending\, while climate-related losses reduce it. The marginal benefit of remittances declines as losses increase. These findings remain robust after controlling for province-by-year shocks and alternative instrument specifications. By linking farm input expenditure to liquidity\, risk\, and productivity\, this study offers policy-relevant evidence for climate-vulnerable\, migration-active regions. Eventually\, the findings suggest that reducing barriers to money transfers and providing timely\, short-term liquidity during input periods can enhance the productive use of remittances and help maintain their role as insurance.  \n Keywords: Rural migration; remittances; climate shocks; agriculture; farming expenditure; informal insurance; TVSEP; NELM; leave-one-out.

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP30 - Hồ Ngọc Linh
DESCRIPTION:The impact of ESG practices on GRDP growth in Vietnam at the provincial level \nStudent: Hồ Ngọc Linh\, VNP-30 \nSupervisor: Dr. Đặng Lê Hoa \nAbstract: \n Vietnam’s economy is growing fast and the regional disparity is large. This study investigates the impact of Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) practices on economic growth\, measured by the growth in Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita across Vietnamese provinces. This study is conducted using a panel dataset analysis of 63 Vietnamese provinces over the period 2019-2023. The study applies Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to construct composite ESG indices from multiple standardized indicators and employs fixed-effects panel regressions to estimate their effects on economic performance.\nThe empirical findings reveal that the three ESG pillars exert heterogeneous and asymmetrical impacts on economic growth. The Social pillar shows a strong\, positive\, and statistically significant effect on GRDP\, with evidence of increasing returns. it indicates improvements in health\, education\, and social protection generate compounding economic gains. The Environmental pillar exhibits a small negative short-run effect. It suggests that provinces may face transitional adjustment costs associated with pollution control\, regulatory compliance\, or resource-management efforts. Meanwhile\, the Governance pillar is statistically insignificant in the short term\, consistent with the slow-moving nature of institutional reforms and their predominantly long-term influence. The results highlight that economic growth alone does not ensure sustainable development. To sustain long-term growth\, provincial governments should strategically reinvest GRDP gains into social infrastructure\, environmental protection\, and institutional capacity. Embedding ESG principles into provincial planning provides a viable pathway toward narrowing regional disparities and promoting inclusive\, sustainable transformation across Vietnam.  \nKeywords: ESG practices\, GRDP per capita growth\, panel data analysis\, Vietnamese provinces\nJEL Classification Codes: C23\, F43\, O11\, O44\, Q56

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP30 - Phạm Quốc Học
DESCRIPTION:Carbon pricing and agriculture in Vietnam: a taxing trade-off \nStudent: Phạm Quốc Học\, VNP-30 \nSupervisor: Dr. Nguyễn Quang \nAbstract: \nThis study evaluates the impacts of carbon pricing on Vietnam’s agricultural sector through a dual-level analytical framework combining a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model at the macro level and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Levinsohn–Petrin (LP) estimations at the household level. The CGE results indicate that a marginal carbon price experiment implemented as a one percentage point increase in the ad-valorem tax on fossil-fuel extraction leads to an approximately 0.62% reduction in CO₂ emissions (≈ -1.806 MtCO₂ per year)\, accompanied by modest improvements in nitrogen and phosphorus boundaries. However\, the associated changes in land use expansion (+0.0195%) and freshwater use (+0.0069%) are extremely small in magnitude and should be interpreted only as marginal directional responses rather than economically meaningful impacts. At the micro level\, both the OLS and LP estimations show that agricultural land is the most influential input\, with β = 0.61\, indicating a statistical association such that a 1% increase in cultivated land is associated with roughly a 0.61% increase in farm income. Water (β = 0.029) also contributes positively\, while labor\, capital\, and energy input remain statistically insignificant. Integrating both sets of findings reveals that carbon pricing affects households indirectly via land and water channels\, influencing rural welfare. The study concludes that carbon pricing should be integrated with land and water management policies to achieve the dual objectives of emission reduction and sustainable rural livelihoods. \nKeywords: carbon pricing\, CGE model\, Levinsohn–Petrin\, agriculture\, Vietnam.\nJEL Classification: Q54\, Q15.

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Đinh Hùng Danh
DESCRIPTION:Trade and the environment: global evidence on the impacts of export quality\, diversification\, and trade margins (2002–2014) \nStudent: Đinh Hùng Danh\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Nguyễn Quang \nAbstract: \nAs global trade integration accelerates\, concerns over its environmental consequences have intensified. This study examines how export characteristics\, specifically export quality\, diversification\, and extensive versus intensive margins\, which affect greenhouse gas emissions across key economic sectors including agriculture\, land use\, waste\, buildings\, construction\, transport\, electricity\, and energy production. Using panel data spanning 2002–2014 for over 100 countries and employing multiple econometric specifications\, we find that higher export quality and greater trade diversification are associated with increased emissions\, particularly in energy\, transport\, and industrial sectors. This relationship reflects the energy-intensive nature of high-quality production processes and the environmental costs associated with broader trade expansion. Conversely\, export concentration (lower diversification) is linked to reduced emissions\, suggesting that sectoral specialization may mitigate pollution intensity. Among the trade dimensions examined\, export extensive margins exhibit the weakest impact on emissions\, indicating that expanding market reach through new products or destinations imposes lower environmental costs compared to intensifying existing trade relationships or upgrading export quality. \nOur results have important policy implications for achieving sustainable trade growth. Countries seeking to reduce their export carbon footprint should pursue “smart specialization” by concentrating export efforts in sectors where they possess comparative advantage\, rather than diversifying across unrelated industries. Additionally\, policymakers should prioritize geographic market expansion and within-sector product innovation\, as these strategies generate lower environmental costs compared to broad sectoral diversification. This study contributes to the growing literature on trade-environment linkages by providing empirical evidence on the differential environmental impacts of various trade strategies\, offering valuable insights for designing sustainable trade policies that reconcile economic competitiveness with environmental preservation. \nKeywords: Greenhouse gas emissions\, Export quality\, Export Diversification\, Export extensive margin\, Export intensive margin.

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP30 - Phạm Quỳnh Như
DESCRIPTION:Occupation and fertility: Evidence from fishing communities in Vietnam \nStudent: Phạm Quỳnh Như\, VNP-30 \nSupervisor: Prof. Dr. Irene van Staveren & Dr. Đặng Đình Thắng \nAbstract: \nFishing communities in Vietnam face many difficulties due to their unstable livelihood. To deal with that\, they take advantage of employing marine resources using family labors. Therefore\, large family size and son preference are prevalent social norms in this occupational group. This study measures the impact of families engaging in the fishing sector on fertility behaviors using the instrumental variable approach. The study shows that as the distance from commune to nearest coastline reduces\, the probability of household being in fisheries rises\, and treated fishing families also have higher fertility than families living with other occupations. The mechanisms not only lie in economic factors\, but also in social factors. The patriarchal system\, an institution embedded in both factors\, plays an important role. Under the lens of capability approach\, effective policies should increase individual well-being\, especially for women\, by addressing not only in income and assets\, but also in challenging institutions limiting individual autonomy and freedom to live the life of their choice. \nKeywords: Fishing\, fertility\, Vietnam\, gendered norms\, patriarchal system\, son preference\, economic factors\, social factors\, Capability approach

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP28 - Nguyễn Chí Nhân
DESCRIPTION:Regulations and bank performance: basel II in Vietnam \nStudent: Nguyễn Chí Nhân\, VNP-28 \nSupervisor: Dr. Hồ Hoàng Anh \nAbstract: \nThis study investigates the impact of Basel II implementation on the performance of Vietnamese commercial banks from 2010 to 2024. Using a panel dataset constructed from financial statements\, the research applies Random Effects Models (REM) to examine the effects of Basel II adoption on three key indicators: return on assets (ROA)\, return on equity (ROE)\, and net interest margin (NIM). Bank-specific variables-total assets\, equity capital\, non-performing loans\, loan loss provisions\, customer loans\, and short-term loans are included\, along with macroeconomic controls such as GDP growth and inflation. \nThe empirical results indicate that Basel II adoption positively affects ROA and ROE\, suggesting that strengthened capital adequacy and risk-based supervision enhance profitability and asset utilization. The effect on NIM is less consistent\, reflecting a longer adjustment period for core lending profitability under stricter regulatory requirements. Non-performing loans and provisioning expenses exhibit significant negative impacts on bank performance\, highlighting the critical role of asset quality. Additionally\, inflation shows a positive relationship with profitability\, likely due to faster lending rate adjustments compared to funding costs. \nOverall\, the findings emphasize that Basel II enhances long-term efficiency and financial stability but imposes short-term compliance challenges. The study provides practical insights for policymakers and bank managers to improve resilience and align with international banking standards. \nKeywords: Basel II; Bank performance; Vietnamese commercial banks; ROA; ROE; NIM

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Lê Quang Đông Quân
DESCRIPTION:The impact of internet use on financial inclusion among Vietnam’s rural households \nStudent: Lê Quang Đông Quân\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Lê Văn Chơn \nAbstract: \nThis thesis analyzes the relationship between internet usage and financial inclusion among rural households in Vietnam using household-level data from the 2018 Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS)\, encompassing over 25\,300 households. A negative binomial model\, as well as a supplement ordinal probit model\, is employed to demonstrate that internet use significantly boosts the financial inclusion index of rural households. To be more specific\, households that use internet are likely to use more financial products\, and have the higher probability of being in the High Financial Inclusion category. As internet accessibility increases\, the likelihood of households achieving higher levels of financial inclusion improves\, highlighting the important role of internet access in enabling access to financial products and services. Given that internet penetration is still largely concentrated in urban areas\, expanding its reach to rural regions is essential for promoting inclusive growth and improving the welfare of disadvantaged communities. The results highlight the need for making appropriate policies to develop internet infrastructure and diffusion in rural areas\, as well as to maximize the economic benefits of internet adoption for rural households. These measures would help optimize the economic advantages of internet use for rural households\, reflect the effort of financial institutions to bring-in underprivileged people to the mainstream financial system\, and align with the Goverment’s objective of achieving inclusive growth. \nKeywords: Financial Inclusion\, Internet use\, Rural households\, Vietnam \nJLT Classification: D14\, L86\, R51

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Lê Ngọc Ánh
DESCRIPTION:The green path: FDI’s Influence on Asia’s sustainable economic growth \nStudent: Lê Ngọc Ánh\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Prof. Almas Heshmati \nAbstract: \n This study examines the dual impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on sustainable economic growth in Asia\, focusing on its effects on Green GDP\, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions\, and the Environmental Performance Index (EPI). Using data from 38 Asian countries spanning 1999 to 2022 and employing a two-step GMM regression analysis\, the findings reveal that while FDI positively influences Green GDP growth\, it concurrently exacerbates GHG emissions and reduces EPI scores. These results underscore the paradoxical role of FDI in\nfostering economic growth while posing environmental challenges. The study highlights the importance of robust environmental policies\, investment in green technologies\, and regional cooperation to align FDI with sustainability goals. It also emphasizes the need for a balanced\napproach to leverage FDI’s economic benefits without compromising environmental integrity. This research contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive analysis of FDI’s environmental and economic implications in the Asian context\, offering policy recommendations for achieving sustainable development.\n \nKeywords: Foreign Direct Investment\, Green Economy\, Sustainable Economic Growth\n \nJEL Classification: F2\, F21\, O11\, O44\, O53\,Q56

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Võ Hoàng Long
DESCRIPTION:Son preference\, fertility choices\, and labor market segmentation in Vietnam \nStudent: Võ Hoàng Long\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Hồ Hoàng Anh \nAbstract: \nThis study investigates the interplay between son preference\, fertility choices\, and labor market segmentation in Vietnam using instrumental variable probit (IV-Probit) model on Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) data from 2010 to 2020. The initial findings reveal that son preference contribute to lower fertility\, influenced by and malepreferring stopping rules and potential sex selection trends during modernization. Using son preference as an instrument for fertility\, we uncover that having fewer children increases the likelihood of labor force participation\, particularly for women. It also shifts individuals away from agriculture and manufacturing toward the service sector. While women with fewer children exhibit increased opportunities in manufacturing compared to men\, lower fertility also shifts them away from informal\, unskilled employment or multi-job engagement\, reflecting improved access to higher-quality job opportunities. These patterns align with the Feminization U Hypothesis and Unified Growth Theory\, suggesting that Vietnam’s economic and demographic transitions significantly shape labor market outcomes. Policies should focus on reducing gender biases\, stricter enforcement against prenatal sex selection to sustain fertility rate that avoid shrinking workforce and human capital stock. Solutions should be established for mitigating the trade-offs between childbearing and career advancement\, particularly for GDP-dominant sectors. \nKeywords: Vietnam\, labor supply\, labor segmentation\, son preferences\, fertility decline\, differential stopping rules\n \nJEL Classification: J01\, J13\, J22

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Đỗ Như Nam
DESCRIPTION:Productivity-based capital allocation efficiency: Empirical evidence from households in Vietnam \nStudent: Đỗ Như Nam\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Võ Hồng Đức \nAbstract: \nThe research studies the household production model and credit program efficiencies in Vietnam. We extend prior empirical studies on Vietnam’s financial inclusion by focusing on credit constraint aspects through examining potential credit misallocation with respect to household productivity. We hypothesize that the ineffective allocation of credit results in lowered levels and reduced welfare impacts of financial inclusion\, hence widening the inequality gap through production loss. Our methodology entails measuring households’ TFP through robust estimation of the household production function\, specified in trans-log terms\, then applying fitted Total Factor Productivity (TFP) to a Heckman’s two-step sample-selection modeling framework. The empirical strategy serves to understand households TFPs’ impact on credit program participation and amount granted\, or\, in other words\, credit elasticities to TFPs. We find that the studied credit programs exhibit positive  efficiencies\, albeit reveal certain mistargeting challenges that could be enhanced in the screening and allocation process. The study aims to contribute a new perspective on barriers to financial inclusion in Vietnam\, by focusing on productivity’s potential impact on credit\, which in turn facilitates production and welfare. \nJEL Classification: D13\, D24\, D61 \nKeywords: financial inclusion\, capital allocation\, household production\, total factor productivity\, sustainable development. \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP28 - Đoàn Thị Ngọc Huệ
DESCRIPTION:The impact of income diversification on liquidity risk of Vietnamese commercial banks \nStudent: Đoàn Thị Ngọc Huệ\, VNP-28 \nSupervisor: Dr. Nguyễn Thị Thùy Linh \nAbstract: \nThe study analyzes and evaluates the impacts of income diversification on the liquidity risk of Vietnamese commercial banks\, using data from 27 commercial banks spanning from 2005 to 2023. Income diversification is measured by the HerfindahlHirschman Index (HHI) and the ratio of non-interest income to total operational income (SHNON). The liquidity risk of the banks is assessed using the financing gap (FGAP) and the loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR). Furthermore\, this study also investigates the impact of the banks’ other activities (non-interest earnings)\, as well as macroeconomic factors such as GDP growth\, changes in money supply\, and the inflation rate on liquidity risk. The results show that income diversity has a negative and significantly effect on bank liquidity risk. An increase in income diversity leads to a decrease in liquidity risk. Furthermore\, ETA\, EFD\, SIZE and ROE positively correlate with liquidity risk\, although NLP does not influence\nliquidity risk. Regarding macroeconomic considerations\, inflation rate negative influences liquidity risk. However\, GDPG and M2C do not affect banks’ liquidity risk. \n

DESCRIPTION:Analyzing the Impact of Economic Factors on Divorce in Vietnam from 2010 to 2022 \nStudent: Phạm Đặng Phương Uyển\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Vũ Hải Anh \nAbstract: \nThis study explores how unemployment affects the divorce rate in Vietnam\, using data from 63 provinces and cities from 2010 to 2022. The findings show that unemployment creates both financial and psychological stress\, leading to marital instability. Its impact is not only immediate butcontinues over time. In particular\, unemployment from two years prior (lag2) continues to have a significant influence on the current divorce rate. The study also reveals gender differences in how unemployment affects marriage. When the husband becomes unemployed\, the divorce rate rises due to the loss of the household’s main source of income. However\, when the wife is unemployed\, marriages tend to last longer\, possibly due to financial dependence or societal norms. In addition to unemployment\, other factors such as income inequality\, poverty\, crime rates\, and the proportion of elderly people also play a role in divorce rates. These findings emphasize the importance of job support programs and social policies to lessen the negative impact of unemployment on marriage and family stability. \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Dương Thiện Trang Thanh
DESCRIPTION:Material flow analysis of fossil fuel in ASEAN during the period 1980-2024 \nStudent: Dương Thiện Trang Thanh\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Assoc.Prof.Dr. Phạm Khánh Nam \nAbstract: \nTen ASEAN countries are setting targets of net-zero or carbon neutrality by 2050\, but their strong commitments are not apparent in COP28. Hence\, my research aims to investigate material (fossil fuel) evolution and efficiency\, which are critical determinants for sustainable economic development through material flow analysis (MFA) with a set of key indicators such as domestic extraction\, raw material equivalent of imports and exports\, and material footprint. Further\, deploying panel data with the period of 1980 – 2024 and fixed effect panel regression application\, I would like to examine relationship between economic growth and environmental quality based on idea of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. The EKC is a traditional approach that captures a relationship between income growth and environmental quality mainly focusing measures of pollutions. In my scope of research\, I validate EKC using material footprint that is alternative measure of environmental degradation. My study would contribute to growing literature of ASEAN circular economy (CE) that is considered as a novel concept in this region.  Further\, importance of MFA accounting framework is also highlighted in this research as a supportive data-based tool to track CE progress. \nMy results confirm a presence of inverted U-shaped between GDP per capita and raw material consumption per capita at total level. However\, when specifically analyzing by income group\, the analysis presents a mixture result of EKC. While inverted U-shaped between economic growth and material footprint exists in high income countries (Singapore\, Brunei Darussalam) and upper-middle income nations (Thailand\, Malaysia)\, lower-middle income countries do not show significant progress of dematerialization\, exhibiting positive linear relationship between GDP and material footprint in these nations. Coupling between economic development and footprint of fossil fuel can reflect current ASEAN energy transition journey that encounters multiple overlapping constraints. While AMS are attempting to accelerate the transition towards renewable energy to reduce emission and mitigate impact of climate change\, the usage of fossil fuel\, especially coal\, oil\, and natural gas are still unavoidable for economic and industrial development. The EKC findings would emphasize that conflicting priorities to enable economic growth and improvement of environmental quality is still ASEAN’s dilemma. \nKeywords: material flow analysis\, material footprint\, EKC hypothesis\, circular economy\, dematerialization\, fossil fuel

DESCRIPTION:Relationship between push and pull factors and foreign portfolio investment in Vietnam \nStudent: Lâm Nguyễn Đỗ Khoa\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Vũ Việt Quảng \nAbstract: \nThis study explores the factors influencing Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) in Vietnam’s stock market\, focusing on the interaction between macroeconomic factors and global financial conditions framed within the push-pull theory. Using monthly data from 2009 to 2024\, the research applies the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag model to examine short- and long-term relationships\, considering asymmetric effects on FPI. The results show that global economic conditions significantly drive FPI inflows\, while the domestic factors have mixed effects. The study also highlights short-term impacts\, such as those from the COVID-19 pandemic and ETF restructuring. These findings provide useful insights for policymakers and investors and contributes to the literature by examining the asymmetric effects of\neconomic variables on FPI\, offering a solid framework for analyzing financial markets in emerging economies. \nKeywords: Foreign Portfolio Investment\, Stock Market\, Portfolio Balance Framework\, NARDL\, Macroeconomics.

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Ngô Minh Hiếu
DESCRIPTION:Digital disparity: insights from the informal economy perspective \nStudent: Ngô Minh Hiếu\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Nguyễn Quang \nAbstract: \nThe primary objective of this study is to explore the varied effects of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on the size of the informal economy\, considering different levels of development\, socio-geographic contexts\, and sectors. Using three distinct datasets that capture various dimensions of the informal economy and four ICT indicators spanning the period from 2000 to 2015\, the study suggests that ICTs contribute to a reduction in the size of the informal economy. However\, this impact is not uniform across all contexts. First\, ICTs have a greater effect on reducing the relative size of the informal economy in middle- and high-income countries than in low-income countries. Interestingly\, the influence of ICTs is more pronounced in middle-income countries than in high-income ones. Second\, the findings suggest that increased ICT adoption\, as indicated by internet and mobile phone usage\, reduces the rate of informal employment more rapidly in urban areas than in rural ones. Lastly\, ICTs are associated with a more significant decline in informal employment in nonagricultural sectors than in agriculture. These findings imply that information technology can be an effective tool for governments seeking to formalize the informal sector\, particularly in middle-income countries\, urban areas\, and non-agricultural sectors. \nKeywords: Informal economy; Shadow economy; Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs); Digital divide; Digital disparity\nJEL Classification: D63\, E26\, J46\, L86\, O17

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Nguyễn Việt Ngân
DESCRIPTION:Determinants of financial inclusion in Vietnam: a comprehensive analysis \nStudent: Nguyễn Việt Ngân\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Hồ Hoàng Anh & Dr. Ellisaios Papyrakis \nAbstract: \nThis study focuses on analyzing the determinants of financial inclusion in Vietnam\, emphasizing how socio-economic factors such as gender\, age\, education\, marital status\, income and migration influence individuals’ access to and usage of formal financial services. Financial inclusion is crucial for sustainable development\, as it allows broader participation in the economy\, particularly for vulnerable groups. However\, despite Vietnam’s economic progress\, financial inclusion levels remain below global and regional averages. The study seeks to address the role of socio-economic elements in influencing financial inclusion. Using econometric methods OLS and GLM\, the research analyzes data from both demand and supply sides to evaluate financial inclusion index in Vietnam. The findings emphasizes the magnitude of education and income as primary drivers of financial access\, while other factors show limited or no impact. Higher-income individuals and married households are more likely to access financial services\, while lower-income groups\, especially in rural areas\, face barriers despite\nimprovements in service availability. These results suggest that policy interventions are needed to address both supply-side challenges\, like service availability\, and demand-side constraints\, such as socio-economic disparities\, to improve financial inclusion. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights for policymakers aiming to reduce socio-economic inequalities and enhance access to financial services in Vietnam. \nKeywords: Financial inclusion; socio-economic factors; behavioral economics; demand-supply side; regional disparities; Vietnam

DESCRIPTION:The influence of economic policy uncertainty on innovation: the moderating role of education \nStudent: Đoàn Trọng Nhân\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Vũ Thị Hồng Nhung \nAbstract: \nOur investigation purposes to empirically theories and explore the influence of global economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on countries’ innovation performance as well as the contingency conditions of this relationship. The study employs longitudinal data from World bank secondary database to examine for a straight impression of EPU on nations’ innovation outcomes. In addition\, we hypothesise the moderating effects of national education. In the contrary to previous studies\, which believe innovation outputs is worse as the presence of EPU\, our findings shows an inverted-U relationship between EPU and innovation outcomes. In fact\, EPU encourages national innovation at a moderate level of EPU and reduce innovation performance as it exceeds the EPU turning point. Furthermore\, we found that education triggers the invertedU relationship flatter\, suggesting the mechanisms by which educational capacity protects and sustains innovation. This study contributes to the growing body of literature investigating the influence economic policy uncertainty on innovation in scope of country level. This research offers new insights into how uncertainty may drive innovation and expands our understanding of education’s role as a moderating factor. \nKeywords: Economic policy uncertainty\, innovation outputs\, education\, inverted U-shape relationship\, Asia\nJEL classification: D80\, G18\, O39

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Nguyễn Ngọc Hải Anh
DESCRIPTION:International trade under gender lens: paving a way for equality \nStudent: Nguyễn Ngọc Hải Anh \, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Trương Đăng Thụy\, Dr. Binyam Demena \nAbstract: \nThis research focuses on the relationship between international trade and gender equality in employment\, extending beyond conventional quantity metrics to incorporate employment quality\, which is a crucial dimension that remains unexplored in existing literature. By employing the Continuous Updated Estimator Generalized Method of Moments (CUE-GMM) model on cross-country data from 2000 to 2022\, the study reveals the multidimensional nature of the relationship between trade and women’s employment. The findings indicate that increased female force participation\, coupled with trade expansion\, catalyzes the “feminization of labor” phenomenon. However\, viewing from the quality of employment dimension\, this employment growth is disproportionately concentrated in informal work arrangements. These patterns align with feminist economic theory’s proposition that women represent competitive advantages in international trade. To enhance productivity and maintain flexibility in international markets and global value chains\, export-oriented firms might leverage the disadvantaged position of female labor to offer them informal jobs. The findings imply that considering trade’s contribution to gender equality in employment necessitates a nuanced approach that transcends the simplistic metric of job creation\, with the joint consideration of the quality of these jobs. This study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of international trade through a gender-responsive lens\, aiding in developing gender-sensitive economic policies\, which are essential for promoting both equity and inclusive development.

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Huỳnh Thanh Huy
DESCRIPTION:The impact of household income on choosing healthcare facilities in Vietnam \nStudent: Huỳnh Thanh Huy\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Prof.Dr. Nguyễn Trọng Hoài \nAbstract: \nVietnam has experienced rapid economic growth since the Doi Moi reforms in 1986. This has contributed to the overall socio-economic development and increased income for the people. In addition\, the healthcare system in Vietnam has received significant attention and\ninvestment from the government through regulations and programs such as the Law on Health Insurance\, the Law on Regulations on Referral of Medical Examination and Treatment\, initiatives to reduce hospital overload\, etc. However\, there are still some shortcomings in the problem of overload in some areas\, the main cause of which may be due to individuals’ behavior in choosing health facilities. Therefore\, this study will examine the impact of household income on their choice of health facilities for using health services in Vietnam. Along with considering the impact of other factors such as individual and household characteristics\, this paper will analyze in more detail the impact between the poorest and richest groups\, among the six economic regions of Vietnam.  \nFrom the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey 2020 (VHLSS 2020) dataset\, the study found that there is inequality in the choice of health care facilities. The rich always have better access to health care facilities than the poor; in addition\, people living in urban areas have a variety of choices in high-quality health care facilities. Notably\, the majority of people always tend to move to higher-level health care facilities and private health care facilities for treatment\, regardless of income or region of residence. \nKeyword: household income\, multinominal logit regression\, inequality\, VHLSS

DESCRIPTION:Interlinkages between economic growth\, urbanization\, energy consumption\, and emissions in eight ASEAN countries \nStudent: Nguyễn Minh Thái\, VNP-27 \nSupervisor: Dr. Nguyễn Quang \nAbstract: \n This study analyzes the complex interlinkages between economic growth\, urbanization\, energy consumption\, and CO2 emissions in eight Southeast Asian countries from 2005 to 2020 by constructing a simultaneous equation model (SEM) to capture the mutual influences among these variables\, thereby providing a more accurate view of their interdependencies. With the strong support of the 3SLS regression method\, the model accounts for endogenous relationships\, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of the feedback mechanisms between these critical economic and environmental factors. The results indicate that GDP growth significantly influences urbanization\, while the industrial sector is the main contributor to rising energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Additionally\, the analysis shows that a 1% increase in population leads to a 1.39% increase in energy consumption\, while a 1% rise in urban population results in a 5.5% increase in CO2 emissions. This reflects the sensitivity of emissions to urban expansion\, especially when poorly managed urbanization leads to greater pressure on energy infrastructure\, exacerbating CO2 emissions and causing environmental and social problems. However\, the study also highlights the\nimportance of promoting renewable energy as a key measure to mitigate the negative effects of urbanization and industrialization on the environment. These findings reinforce the need for sustainable energy policies and effective urban planning to ensure a balance between economic growth and environmental protection in Southeast Asian countries. \nJEL Classification: Q2\, E4\, C33\nKeywords: economic growth\, urbanization\, energy consumption\, CO2 emissions\, renewable energy\, energy policies\, urban planning\, panel data.

DESCRIPTION:Price-aware matrix factorization for recommend system: A case study in Vietnam \nStudent: Trần Ngọc Sơn\, VNP-27 \nSupervisor: Dr. Trần Thị Tuấn Anh \nAbstract: \nIn recent years\, Vietnam has witnessed a significant transformation in consumer behavior due to the rapid expansion of the Internet and the far-reaching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the convenience of e-commerce platforms\, the growing availability of Internet services\, and affordable prices\, online shopping has become necessary for daily life. This shift has propelled the e-commerce industry’s continuous growth\, turning it into a virtual marketplace with a diverse range of products. Advanced recommendation systems facilitate this evolution\, enhancing personalization and the shopping experience. This study underscores the critical role of pricing in shaping consumer decisions\, particularly during economic challenges when a significant portion of customers prefer budget-friendly retail options. The study uses the price-aware Singular Value Decomposition (PASVD) model\, which considers people’s preferences and price sensitivity when making suggestions. The primary research question is\, “How can the PASVD model be effectively optimized and applied to new datasets within Vietnam’s e-commerce context?” This investigation focuses on parameter optimization to improve accuracy and efficiency in tasks related to rating prediction\, aiming to enhance the customer experience in Vietnam’s burgeoning e-commerce sector. This study shows that the PASVD model helps accurately suggest products in the Vietnamese e-commerce industry. \nKeywords: E-commerce\, Price Preference\, Price Sensitivity\, Personalized Recommendation\, Recommender System\, Collaborative Filtering\, Matrix Factorization\, Data Sparsity\, The Number of Latent Factors\, Regularization Coefficient.

DESCRIPTION:To examine the impacts of marketing-mix instruments on retail patronage of TOTO brand through retailers in the South of Vietnam \nStudent: Phạm Lê Quỳnh\, VNP-28 \nSupervisor: Dr. Trương Đăng Thụy \nAbstract: \nThis study creates a conceptual model that highlights the effects of marketing-mix instruments in elucidating consumers in terms of purchasing decision or introducing behavior. A poll was conducted by 430 consumers who already purchased to collect attitudinal and behavioral traits related to their experiences with TOTO product – a Japanese brand of sanitary wares and retail patronages’ decisions. The independent variables were synthesized using the principal component analysis method and binary response model was employed to test the relationships between the marketing-mix instrument and decision of the participants to be patronages or not. The empirical result demonstrates that four of the seven marketing-mix variables are statistically significant in patrons’ decisions to purchase TOTO items or suggest them to others when requested. Furthermore\, purchasing habit and demographic characteristics\, particularly the experience factor when the survey participant is the one making the purchase choice\, which has a positive impact on the decision afterward. In general\, this research adds to a body of knowledge that may be used as advice on whether\, when and which marketing-mix instruments to establish for a sanitary-ware retailer or an interior decoration retail channel in general when dealing with the influx of elevating lifestyle of high-income consumers. Additionally\, it promotes a literature for a better reference of marketing strategic value proposition in Vietnam market. \nKey words: retail patronage\, marketing-mix instruments\, patronage’s decision\, TOTO sanitary wares. \nJEL classification: M30\, M31

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP28 - Đoàn Nam Hải
DESCRIPTION:The determinants of Vietnam households’ subjective well-being by using VHLSS 2010\, 2012\, 2014\, 2016\, and 2018 \nStudent: Đoàn Nam Hải\, VNP-28 \nSupervisor: Prof.Dr. Nguyễn Trọng Hoài \nAbstract: \nThe thesis uses the longitudinal panel data\, which are combined from the data set of VHLSS 2010 and four next data sets of VHLSS\, to create three waves of data including (1) the wave of VHLSS 2010-12-14; (2) the wave of VHLSS 2012-14-16; (3) the wave of VHLSS 2014-16-18. \nThe empirical studies suggested that the Order Probit model is suitable for examining the dependent variable which is gathered through the quantitative question like the case of this thesis. \nThe research contributes to Subjective Well-being (SWB) with four worthy following: \n(1) even though differentiated with some empirical studies\, in the case of Vietnamese and supported by some empirical studies\, female HoHHs have better SWB perceiving than that male HoHHs;  \n(2) among of 6 areas of Vietnam\, living in the different areas lead to different perceiving of SWB\, favorable for HoHH living in the Northern\nMidlands and Mountains\, North Centrals;  \n(3) in the family structure perspective\, the HoHHs living in the two and three generation perceive that their SWB better than that of others; \n (4) the perception on SWB from the HoHHs with the levels of education that lower than undergraduate level\, and the HoHHs keeping their level of education higher over the past 5 years are better than others. \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP28 - Lê Thùy Trang
DESCRIPTION:Impact of credit access on farmers’ investment behavior in Vietnam \nStudent: Lê Thùy Trang\, VNP-28 \nSupervisor: Dr. Trương Đăng Thụy\, Dr. Matthias Rieger \nAbstract: \n Agricultural credit is regarded as a crucial factor in economic development. Despite the importance of agricultural credit to developing countries\, little is known about how such credit impacts rural household\, especially in Vietnam. This thesis conducts an empirical analysis of the impact of agricultural credit on farm outcomes and household investment by employing VARHS panel data. In order to do this\, we make a comparison between ordinary least squares and fixed effects method to choose the best effective method to control for unobserved heterogeneity. Then\, we run multiple linear regression and find consistent evidence that access to credit leads to a growth in farm production and profit and in household welfare. Furthermore\, we also provide potential channels through which credit access affects agricultural profit by analyzing the impact of credit on farm investment and conclude that credit improves farm outcomes through farm inputs and land expansion. \nKey words: credit\, fixed effects\, rural households\, Vietnam. \nJEL Classification: Q12\, Q14  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP28 - Đặng Nguyễn Minh Duy
DESCRIPTION:The Impact of Overeducation on Wage \nStudent: Đặng Nguyễn Minh Duy\, VNP-28 \nSupervisor: Dr. Trần Mỹ Minh Châu \nAbstract: \nThe study uses data from the 2018 Vietnam Household Living Standard survey and the Vietnam Labor Force survey to examine the effect of education on wage in Vietnam. The findings implies that overeducation is negatively correlated to wage rate and is statistically significant. Using available data from both datasets mentioned above\, this study check for robustness of OLS coefficient. Employing one instrumental variable relating to childhood neighborhood level of education\, the study tries to address the endogenous relationship between wage and overeducation. The two stage least square estimate and test results indicates that the instrument is strong and exogenous\, and the endogeneity between wage and overeducation leads to overestimation of overeducation. The study also tests for omitted variable bias\, and the result shows that there are unobserved variables that also affect wage which leads to overeducation to be overestimated. Although the solution to solve the bias is not discussed within the scope of this study\, it is among the first in this line of literature to address the omitted variable bias and empirically try to test for the existence of the bias. \nKeyword: A14\, Human capital theory\, wage effect on education\, overeducation \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP27 - Huỳnh Tấn Đạt
DESCRIPTION:An in-depth study on stakeholder collaboration in green supply chain management and firm performance: evidence from the Vietnamese garment industry \nStudent: Huỳnh Tấn Đạt\, VNP-27 \nSupervisor: Prof.Dr. Nguyễn Trọng Hoài\, Dr. Elissaios Papyrakis \nAbstract: \nThis research paper explores the pressing need for sustainability in the face of the rapidly expanding global economy\, which places significant strain on the environment. The study focuses on the pivotal role of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) within the\ntransition to circular economies. It systematically investigates how collaborative approaches to green practices among supply chain partners influence a firm’s sustainability performance. Data from 13 garment manufacturing firms in Vietnam were gathered through a mixed-method approach\, including surveys and interviews\, and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and benchmarking methods. The findings reveal that buyer monitoring and institutional pressures have a positive and significant impact on internal green supply chain practices. The study emphasizes the need for alignment between Vietnam’s legal framework and international standards to foster environmentally friendly supply chain practices. Furthermore\, it underscores the positive relationships between both internal and external GSCM practices and performance measures. Importantly\, the research highlights the essential role of green supply chain practices and collaborative efforts in enhancing sustainability and performance in the garment industry. It emphasizes the responsibility of global buyers within the supply chain in driving collaborative initiatives with suppliers and ensuring the promotion of green practices throughout the supply chain\, ultimately leading to comprehensive and positive impacts on sustainability. \nKeywords: Green supply chain management; stakeholder theory; stakeholder collaboration; operational performance; financial performance; environmental performance; Vietnamese garment industry. \nJEL Classification: L67\, Q56\, Q58 \n  \n
