my appreciation Huynh Thi Bich Thao i ABSTRACT This paper attempts to determine stock price volatility in Vietnam stock market using a rich and detailed data set, including both market data and firm attributes In particular, we aim to investigate which firm characteristics affect stock price volatility From the perspective of informational asymmetry, the paper examines the relationship between stock price volatility and firm characteristics of Vietnamese listed firms on Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange A sample of 110 listed companies in Vietnam stock market is examined for a period from 2007 to 2009 The empirical estimation is based on panel data modeling technique The findings of the paper indicate that stock price volatility is positively affected by dividend yield, firm age and liquidity Meanwhile, it is negatively correlated with firm size In addition, the results of this study also report that stock price volatility favors foods and beverages, industrials and real estates, construction & materials industries Keywords: Stock price volatility, firm attributes, Vietnam stock market, panel data ii CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT .i ABSTRACT ii CONTENTS iii LIST OF ABBREVIATION v

discussing research objectives and research questions After that, a brief of methodology, contribution and structure of this study is presented 1.1 Background, research motivation and rationale Stock price volatility and its determinants remain a source of controversy despite years of theoretical and empirical research Investigations of share price changes appear to yield evidence that changes in fundamental variables should jointly bring about changes in share prices both in developed and emerging markets However, the actual fundamental factors found to be relevant may vary from market to market It is widely agreed that a set of fundamental variables as suggested by individual theories is no doubt relevant as possible factors affecting share price changes in the short and the long-run A substantial a mount of research has been directed toward analyzing the relationship between stock price volatility and firm attributes Among those substantial research in developed market, it can be listed out some outstanding findings such as Baskin (1989) and Fama and French (1992) in the United States context and Allen and Rachim (1996) in Australian context While Baskin (1989) reports a strongly significant relationship between dividend yield and stock price volatility, Allen and Rachim (1996) cannot find any evidence to support this hypothesis but finds another interesting results related to payout ratio Even though Vietnam initiates the stock market later than many other developed countries, there has been a substantial growth The first stock exchange in Ho Chi Minh city was established in 2000 with four listed companies Increased foreign interest and the privatization of state-owned enterprises lead to a rapid increase in listings At the end of 2009, there are about 250 firms listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange and the smaller exchange in Hanoi Huynh Thi Bich Thao Most of the previous studies on determinants of stock return volatility focus on well-developed markets with less attention given to the developing markets To the best of the author knowledge, there are very few studies that address the issue of stock price volatility and fundamental factors in the Vietnamese context This motivates the present study to examine whether firm characteristics can affect the stock price volatility of the Vietnamese companies This study focuses on the same issue for Vietnam Stock market, a developing market Apart from using the latest data, we develop this study by incorporating selected variables for selected purposes to examine the determinants of stock price volatility In addition, industry effects are also taken into consideration of this research As general thinking, the stock prices response to market news everyday Therefore, many researches are conducted on investigation over a short horizon with event study on information announcement effects By contrast, this study attempts to examine the relationship between stock price volatility and firm attributes in a long run basis In order to facility our primary aim, the stock price volatility is calculated using Parkinson (1980) method which reduces the mismatch between relevant time for the share prices and the fundamental ratios Under this method, this study in ideal situation should employ quarterly data for analysis However, there is a large difference between the internal financial statements of firms and the audited reports In addition, according to the regulation, only annual audited reports are required to submit This study, therefore, use annual data from audited reports for more accurate firm attributes 1.2 Research objectives and research questions This study is conducted to analyze the behavior of stock price from a broad perspective The main purpose of this paper is to determine the relationship between stock price volatility and firm attributes We also look at the influence of industry effect on stock price volatility In addition, stock price behavior in each year and each industry is also discussed in this study in order to identify whether there is any Regression results of Model 15 Dependent Variable: PV Method: Panel Least Squares
