SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP30 - Trình Thị Thanh Trà
DESCRIPTION:Corruption and poverty impact on health sector in Vietnam \nStudent: Trình Thị Thanh Trà\, VNP-30 \nSupervisor: Prof.Dr. Arjun Bedi & Dr. Hồ Quốc Thông \nAbstract: \nThis study investigates how control of corruption and multidimensional poverty interact to affect provincial health outcomes in Viet Nam. Using panel data from 54 provinces over the period 2016–2023\, under–five mortality is employed as dependent variable. Two corruption indicators are used varied perspective: corruption control perceived by firms and corruption control perceived by citizens. To estimate the data\, the study applies OLS\, FE model to interpret the main result. Results show that on one hand poverty has a negative influence on child mortality. Control of corruption decrease the rate. Moreover\, stronger control is associated with a weaker relationship between poverty and child mortality. The findings imply that in order to improve healthcare performance in Viet Nam\, it required higher level of accountability and poverty reduction in all dimensions. \nKeywords: Corruption; Poverty; Vietnam; health; interaction

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP30 - Tăng Huy Bảo
DESCRIPTION:The fog of news: how news-based geopolitical risk clouds bilateral trade \nStudent: Tăng Huy Bảo\, VNP-30 \nSupervisor: Dr. Binyam Demena & Prof.Dr. Nguyễn Trọng Hoài \nAbstract: \n The hyper-globalization paradigm after the Cold War is disintegrating and is giving way to a new arena of strategic competition in which economic efficacy and national security rival each other. Although the devastating influence of active war on trade is not much of a secret\, the consequences of the ubiquitous threat of war the fear and perception of geopolitical tension remain little known. This study investigates how dyadic Geopolitical Risk (GPR)\, measured through news media interpretation of conflicts and tensions\, influences bilateral size-adjusted trade flows. The results reveal a critical temporal dynamic: GPR does not disrupt trade contemporaneously. Instead\, it exhibits a significant “phasing-in” effect\, with negative impacts materializing after a\none-year lag and accumulating over a three-year period. A joint GPR shock leads to a three-year cumulative trade reduction of approximately 15%. These results underscore the delayed but consistent nature of the geopolitical uncertainty and how risk perception may erode world economic integration even in the absence of actual conflict situations. \nKeywords: Geopolitical Risk\, Bilateral Trade\, Gravity Model\, Phasing-In Effect\, News-Based Index

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP30 - Trần Anh Dũng
DESCRIPTION:How Does Government Transparency Affect Foreign Direct Investment and Fiscal Budget: The Case of Vietnam  \nStudent: Trần Anh Dũng\, VNP-30 \nSupervisor: Dr. Zemzem Shuka & Prof.Dr. Nguyễn Trọng Hoài \nAbstract: \nThis paper examines the effect of government transparency on attracting Foreign Direct Investment capital inflows and its transmitted effect on government budget revenue. Grounded in Public Finance Theory\, this research addresses a critical question: Can the use of government openness as a meta-public good enhance the capital inflows\, which act as a transmission channel to a return in fiscal capacity? Using a provincial-level dataset and employing a dynamic Two-Step System Generalised Method of Moments to address potential endogeneity from reversal causality\, the analysis reveals two key findings. Firstly\, transparency acts as a significant tool for the realisation of FDI projects\, rather than attracting new foreign capital. By reduces the administrative frictions and uncertainty of government due to asymmetric information\, transparency releases these constraints on project execution and improve the post-entry stage of cross-border investments. Secondly\, the fiscal benefits of transparency are neither statistically significant nor transmitted through foreign investment\, but are likely to operate through broader channels and to enhance domestic capacity in the long run. The conclusion is that transparency is an essential meta-public good and crucial to the efficiency of the government’s allocation functions in the short run and stabilisation functions in the longer term. Policymakers can consider this a strategic\, cost-effective alternative to traditional incentives to support the implementation of cross-border investment\nand promote sustainable economic development in Vietnam. \n \nKey Concept: Foreign Direct Investment\, Government Transparency\, Tax Revenue\, Provincial Budget\, Governance Quality

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Nguyễn Thị Kiều Nhung
DESCRIPTION:Is Asia’s fertility decline linked to foreign investment? An empirical investigation? \nStudent: Nguyễn Thị Kiều Nhung\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Đặng Đình Thắng \nAbstract: \nThis thesis investigates the complex relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) across 40 Asian economies. As Asia undergoes a rapid demographic\nmetamorphosis\, understanding how international capital inflows are associated with changes in reproductive behavior has become a critical concern for sustainable development and future labor stability. Using a panel-data regression framework with model selection guided by the Hausman specification test\, this thesis identifies an inverse relationship between cumulative FDI stock and fertility rates across Asia. The analysis further reveals significant heterogeneity across geographic regions and countries with different levels of urbanization and initial fertility. The negative association between FDI and fertility is most pronounced in East and Southeast Asia\, followed by West Asia\, while being notably moderated in South and Central Asia. Furthermore\, the correlational estimates are stronger among the countries with a high level of urbanization and among those with a high level of initial fertility. \nKeywords: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)\, Total Fertility Rate (TFR)\, Demographic Transition\, Threshold Effect\, Urbanization\, Asia.\nJEL classifications: F21\, J13\, O18\, R11

SUMMARY:Thesis Public Defense | VNP29 - Võ Ngọc Tường Vy
DESCRIPTION:Alternative behavioral data as screening signals: incremental predictive power and economic implications in credit scoring among thin-file borrowers in Vietnam \nStudent: Võ Ngọc Tường Vy\, VNP-29 \nSupervisor: Dr. Trương Đăng Thụy \nAbstract: \nThis thesis examines whether alternative behavioural-information proxies provide incremental predictive power beyond traditional credit-information proxies in screening small-value\, short-term consumer loans for thin-file and new-to-bank applicants in Vietnam. The anonymised and feature-masked data-set was provided by KCI Credit Information Joint Stock Company and contains 10\,023 unique applicant-originated-loan records. Predictors were measured at or before the scoring point\, while the dependent variable records whether the corresponding one-month loan subsequently reached 30 days past due (DPD30+) after being observed through maturity and for at least 30 additional days. The primary analysis uses unweighted Baseline and Extended Logistic Regression models. RF52 uses the same final 52 predictors as the Extended Logistic Regression and provides a clean algorithm-only robustness comparison. A separate supplementary RF92\nmodel uses all 92 screened source predictors to assess the broader KCI information environment; it is not used to identify the incremental contribution of the behavioural block. \nAfter diagnostic removal of one duplicated traditional predictor and twelve deterministically dependent behavioural predictors\, the Baseline model retained 18 predictors and the Extended model retained 52 predictors. On the ordered out-of-time test sample\, the Extended Logistic Regression increased AUC from 0.6515 to 0.6954 and KS from 0.2218 to 0.2999; the paired DeLong test confirmed that the AUC gain was statistically significant (z = 4.934\, p < 0.001). Within the thin-file proxy segment\, AUC increased from 0.5699 to 0.6449 and KS from 0.1300 to 0.2516. The Extended model also produced a lower Brier score and lower observed bad rates among approved loans at the evaluated predicted-risk cut-offs. Weighted Logistic Regression produced similar ranking results but was retained only as a supplementary sensitivity analysis. The findings indicate that governed behavioural information can complement traditional credit information\,\nparticularly where formal credit histories are sparse; they do not imply that alternative data should replace conventional credit assessment or that the estimated probabilities constitute\nregulatory PD measures. \nKeywords: alternative behavioural information; credit scoring; DPD30+; thin-file borrowers; new-to-bank; logistic regression; Vietnam; model governance
