SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP26 - Ngô Quỳnh Hoa
DESCRIPTION:Using Online Prices for Inflation Estimation and Pricing Behaviour Research: A Case Study from Vietnamese Multi-channel Retailers during the COVID-19 Pandemic  \nStudent: Ngô Quỳnh Hoa\, VNP 26 \nSupervisor: Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Trọng Hoài & Dr. Matthias Rieger \nAbstract: \nThis thesis examines the potential of using online pricing data from multi-channel retailers for economic research during the pandemic time. It describes the method of collecting data through web-scraping techniques in two of the largest retailers in Vietnam during its first “true” wave of COVID-19 in 2021 and discusses the benefits and challenges of this approach. Data were collected daily across 167 days and from 2\,398 product items\, for a total of 396\,335 observations. Despite limitations such as the short time frame of the research and the fluctuations in the number of data points gathered during the lock-down\, the thesis shows that the online price index is capable of tracking the inflation dynamics during the pandemic. The approach can be helpful when price data cannot be collected in person due to lockdowns. Regressions of price dynamics on pandemic variables indicate that the pandemic trajectory\, including the total number of vaccinations and the lockdown measures\, correlates strongly with the discounting benefits consumers can enjoy\, particularly on essential products like foods. Still\, no evidence for the correlation between pandemic variables and inflation has been found within the scope of this research.\nJEL codes: D12; D22; D40; D50; D80\nKeywords: Inflation; online price index; e-commerce; multi-channel retailers; pricing behavior; pan-demic; Vietnam. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP24 - Trần Thị Thuận Trinh
DESCRIPTION:Bank efficiency in vietnam under the influence of merge and acquisition between 2010 and 2020 \nStudent: Trần Thị Thuận Trinh\, VNP24 \nSupervisor: Dr. Hồ Quốc Thông \nAbstract: \nMerge and acquisition are a consequence of economic growth overtime. It may be due to competition\, the growth of foreign direct and indirect investment flows as well as the proactive integration with the economy. It is observable that when the economy experiences significant variation of growth\, M&A appears to be more active. However\, there is heterogeneity of bank performance due to M&A.\nThe main objective of this study is to analyze factors that affect the performance of commercial banks in Vietnam pre and post M&A from 2010 to 2020. The study uses balanced panel data of all 27 commercial banks in Vietnam over 11 years between 2010 and 2020. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique and Pooled Ordinary Least Squared were employed to calculate the technical efficiency of commercial banks and analyze the variation of efficiency level. The main finding is that there exists room for banks to improve their performance. As well\, M&A is an important efficiency determinant. The study also suggested several solutions to possibly improve the performance of commercial banks in Vietnam. \n  \n
