SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP26 - Nguyễn Quốc Việt
DESCRIPTION:The spatial spillover effect on the institutional quality of 63 Vietnamese provinces from 2013 to 2020. \nStudent: Nguyễn Quốc Việt\, VNP-26 \nSupervisor: Dr. Lê Văn Chơn \nAbstract: \nInstitutional quality plays an essential role in the economy\, helping to maintain stability and social justice to promote economic development. This study conducts an empirical analysis using the Spatial econometrics method with panel data spanning during the 2013-2020 period collected from the General Statistics Office (GSO)\, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI)\, and the Department of Survey\, Mapping and Geographic Information Vietnam under Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (2009). I use three models\, Spatial Autoregressive Model (SAR)\, Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) and Spatial Error Model (SEM)\, to determine whether there exists a spillover effect of institutional quality across provinces and how it can be leveraged in policy-making. Although this effect has been studied in other countries\, this is the first study on this issue in Vietnam. It is found that there is evidence of spatial spillover in provinces. Changes in a province’s neighbors might affect its institutional quality. It implies that the central government should create favorable  environments and stimulate an active learning spirit across provinces to promote faster spillover effects. In addition\, province-level leaders should take into account new policies implemented by neighboring provinces.\n \nJEL Classification: R12\, D02 \nKeywords: spatial models\, institutional quality\, a spillover effect.  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP27 - Nguyễn Sơn Hà
DESCRIPTION:Determinants of financial inclusion – The Vietnamese households’ perspective \nStudent: Nguyễn Sơn Hà\, VNP-27 \nSupervisor: Dr. Arjun Bedi & Assoc.Prof.Dr. Vo Hong Duc \nAbstract: \nUsing the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) datasets in 2014\, 2016\, and 2018\, this study examines financial inclusion’s key determinants from the perspective of Vietnamese households. This study investigates the effects of the determinants on each level of financial inclusion utilizing an ordered logit model. The empirical results reveal that total income per household\, relative income index\, and the distance of the household from the nearest financial hub are crucial factors that drive the financial inclusion level. While the total income per household plays a positive role in enhancing financial inclusion\, relative income seems to have an adverse effect on the degree of financial inclusion of individuals. Besides\, distance to the nearest public bank branch is also a challenge to overcome in achieving the financial inclusion goals in Vietnam in the future. Relevance to Development Studies The World Bank (2012) considers that financial inclusion stands as one of the crucial mechanisms to promote economic growth\, reduce poverty\, and overcome income inequality. By investigating the determinants of financial inclusion using micro-data in the Vietnamese context\, this research contributes to the existing literature by providing a new perspective on Vietnamese households’ characteristics. The findings of this research can also be helpful for\nscholars and policymakers regarding the new angles on the main factors that drive financial inclusion in the developing country. Policy implications have emerged based on the findings to attain the goals of financial inclusion.\n \nKeywords: Financial inclusion\, Income inequality\, Relative income\, Household characteristics\, Vietnam.\nJEL classification: O12\, O15\, D14\, D15.  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP26 - Hà Trương Minh Hiếu
DESCRIPTION:The effect of internal immigration on crime in Ho Chi Minh City \nStudent: Hà Trương Minh Hiếu\, VNP-26 \nSupervisor: Dr. Zemzem Shigute & Dr. Phạm Khánh Nam \nAbstract: \nHo Chi Minh city’s rapid urbanization and development have created a positive feedback loop. The more financially successful the city becomes\, thanks to the internal migration from across the country\, the more people are eager to move in and join the thriving economy.\nHowever\, this also created a Grey Rhino1 scenario where the constant influx of people is spiraling out of control. Out of many consequences that occur from an unnaturally and unplanned high concentration of population in a city that can be observed\, crime rate is one of the most concerned and discussed topics. Europeans and Americans are no strangers to immigration phenomenal. Many robust observations of the link between crimes and immigration were documented. Although vary in results\, most shared the conclusion that property crimes were the most positively impacted by heavy immigration. Yet\, contradicting to findings of previous literature\, this paper finds internal immigration has notably impacted all crimes in three criminal categories with little to no spatial impact. This is very surprising but somewhat predictable\, given many flaws in the way official reports define internal immigration and the lack of transparency in how criminal data is recorded. The hard block of public access to data also contributes to the desolation of domestic research interest regarding this topic and leaves room for speculation why the population data census was closely guarded. Nonetheless\, if the policy makers deem the official dataset trustworthy and\ndecide to act on it\, the best course of action is to develop neighboring provinces and unpopulated districts to relieve the pressure from Ho Chi Minh city. While simultaneously\, minimizing the frequent damage caused by natural disasters in the Center region will encourage more Center Vietnamese to hold their ground.\n \nKeywords: Internal migration\, Vietnam\, Saigon\, Crimes\n \nJEL code: K3 \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP27 - Phạm Lê Hữu Vĩnh
DESCRIPTION:Socio-demographic determinants of household electricity consumption in Vietnam \nStudent: Phạm Lê Hữu Vĩnh\, VNP-27 \nSupervisor: Dr. Võ Hồng Đức \nAbstract: \nElectricity is one of the most important types of secondary energy sources today\, with the household sector accounting for a significant share of the whole world’s consumption. Climate change\, fossil fuel depletion\, and the current energy crisis demonstrate the urgency of each country’s policy to prepare for a period of transition to new clean power generation sources and to withstand external energy supply shocks\, especially in developing countries. Traditional sources of energy are important inputs for the electric generation industry in many\ndeveloping countries. However\, with the current worldwide trend of environmentally friendly policies\, developing countries will have to accelerate their adaptation to this transition. Therefore\, policies that promote electricity saving and efficient use of electricity are essential\nin the current context. \nVietnam\, a developing country with the goal of becoming Asia’s new tiger\, has taken energy security as one of the government’s top policy goals. In order to reach the goal\, energy conservation policies aimed at the household sector plays an important role. To make appropriate and effective policies in the context of Vietnam\, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of households electricity demand. \nThis study is conducted to achieve the following three objectives. First\,  understanding the role of some of the most important socio- demographic factors that influence how households consume electricity. Second\, studying the economies of scale in electricity consumption of Vietnamese households. Third\, examining the degree of inequality in electricity consumption between different income groups in order to improve the current policy interventions on energy saving and inequality. \nThe results seem attractive. First\, the three main factors of income\, level of education and number of household members\, along with other demographic factors\, have been shown to have a significant impact on household electricity consumption behaviour. Furthermore\, this study also shows the reverse causality between income and electricity consumption by applying the Three-Stages Least Squares (3SLS) approach. Second\, there are economies of scale in electricity consumption depending on household size in Vietnam in 2012 and 2020. Third\, the study has revealed a deep inequality in electricity consumption between different income groups\, thereby highlighting the need for policy interventions to reduce energy inequality and the goal of energy security to reach. \nKeywords: Vietnam\, Households\, Electricity consumption\, Socio-demographic determinants \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP27 - Nguyễn Hữu Phát
DESCRIPTION:The influence of trust and risk on the adoption of e-wallets: A case study in Vietnam \nStudent: Nguyễn Hữu Phát\, VNP-27 \nSupervisor: Dr. Vũ Thị Hồng Nhung \nAbstract: \nThis study is conducted to measure the influence of Trust\, which includes Trust in Technology\, Trust towards Service Provider\, and Interpersonal Trust level; and Risk\, which is inclusive of Perceived Risk and Risk Attitude over the adoption of E-wallets in Vietnam. While Trust in Technology\, Trust towards Service Provider\, and Perceived Risk were measured using direct method through three sets of Likert-scale questions; Risk Attitude and Interpersonal Trust level were measured indirectly through a Holt & Laury lottery game and two interpersonal trust level test questions. The binary model was applied to analyze the influence of those main variables as well as the demographics variables to find out how they affect the adoption of E-wallets. The results obtained indicate that Trust in Technology is statistically significantly influencing the adoption of E-wallets. This result is also in line with previous papers conducted in the past. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP27 - Trần Nguyễn Huyền Trân
DESCRIPTION:The effect of education on the attitude toward domestic violence: a case in Vietnam using multiple indicator cluster surveys data (MICS) \nStudent: Trần Nguyễn Huyền Trân\, VNP-27 \nSupervisor: Dr. Vũ Thị Hồng Nhung \nAbstract: \nDomestic violence is a big global health problem that authorities are continually seeking to address. Raising people’s awareness of not tolerating acts of domestic violence is one of the variables that help to reduce the rate of domestic violence. This research aims to evaluate the effect of higher education levels on attitudes toward domestic violence. We used data from 3 waves of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) in 2006\, 2011\, 2013\, and 2021 with a total of around 10 thousand observations each year. The Propensity Score Matching method is applied in this paper to address the selection bias problem and therefore isolate the causality effect of education on ATDV without conducting experimental research. The findings of this research are supportive evidence for household bargaining theory\, women or men with higher education levels are less likely to justify domestic violence. This result is consistent for all four data sets in this study. \nKeywords: Domestic Violence\, Treatment effect of education\, Propensity score\, Vietnam \nJEL classification: J12\, J18 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP26 - Nguyễn Tùng Nhân
DESCRIPTION:The FDI spillover effect on the performance of industrial firms: Evidence from export processing zones and industrial parks \nStudent: Nguyễn Tùng Nhân\, VNP-26 \nSupervisor: Dr. Trương Đăng Thụy \nAbstract: \nExport processing zones (EPZs) and industrial parks (IZs) of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) were established with the mission of attracting foreign investment\, promoting export activities\, and creating a premise for the integration of the Vietnamese economy with the rest of the world. However\, the process of urbanization in parallel with the development of export processing zones and industrial parks has made the role of export processing zones and industrial parks vaguely represented. Beside many benefits that EPZs and IPs may have brought\, many people still think that the image of export processing zones and industrial parks is disheveled\, unsanitary\, environmentally polluted\, and not beneficial to the economy. Also\, many previous studies have shown mixed evidence of the spillover effect from foreign investment. However\, few studies has focused on the spillover effect of foreign investment in EPZs and IPs in HCMC. This study contributes counter-arguments by demonstrating spillover effects in projects in EPZs and IPs in HCMC. With the data provided by Ho Chi Minh city Export Processing and Industrial Zones Authority (HEPZA)\, the results show that there is not enough evidence to justify that spillover effect exists for HCMC EPZs and IPs. \nKeywords: Export processing zones\, Industrial parks\, spillover effect \nJEL classification: L69\, O14\, O25 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP25 - Đoàn Minh Thùy
DESCRIPTION:The effect of land fragmentation on household income in Vietnam\, using VARHS2018 \nStudent: Đoàn Minh Thùy\, VNP-25 \nSupervisor: Dr. Lê Văn Chơn \nAbstract: \nThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effect that land fragmentation has on the revenue earned per person as a result of agricultural activities\, as reported by the Vietnam Access to Resources Household Survey 2018. In addition to the land fragmentation index and factors related to soil quality (fertility\, slope)\, the study investigates the impact of factors related to education and factors related to households\, such as household size\, marital status\, or age of the household head. These factors are added to the model in order to determine the impact on the variable that is being studied\, which is the land fragmentation index. Using the Cobb–Douglas production formula and the IV Test model to test the relationship between the independent variables and per capita income\, the research results once again confirm the negative impact that land fragmentation has on income from agricultural activities per capita. Both of these models are based on the idea that there is a relationship between the independent variables and per capita income. On the other hand\, there is no evidence to demonstrate that having a professional education has any effect on income. \nKeywords: Land Fragmentation\, Agriculture Income\, Household \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP25 - Trương Thị Thanh Thanh
DESCRIPTION:The impact of flooding on the livelihood diversity of household’s in DakLak\, Vietnam \nStudent: Trương Thị Thanh Thanh\, VNP-25 \nSupervisor: Dr. Phạm Khánh Nam \nAbstract: \nClimate change is making floods increasingly impact on people’s livelihoods\, especially in rural areas\, and changing farmers’ coping strategies with floods. Using interview data set of 303 households in Dak Lak\, Vietnam. This study uses Poisson and logit models to assess flood factors affecting the livelihood diversification of households. Research results show that flooding has a positive impact on households’ decision-making to choose some form of livelihood diversification. At the same time\, the data also show a high significance that the longer the number of years a household has lived in the flooded area\, the higher their experience in dealing with floods; the younger the head of the household\, the better adaptation will be. \nKeywords: livehoods diversification\, coping with floods\, climate exchange \n  \n  \n  \n
