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 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 | 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
