submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS By DO QUANG THAI Academic Supervisor: NGUYEN HOANG BAO HO CHI MINH CITY, DECEMBER 2014 ABSTRACT This research focuses on the impact of determinants to capital structure with respect to 56 listed real estate companies in Vietnam from 2010 to 2013 Basing on two theories of trade-off and pecking order, capital structure, which is defined by debt ratio, is expected to provide the current prospect of Vietnamese real estate sector The tradeoff theory mentioned about the establishment of optimal capital structure for enterprises, while theory of pecking order implied the financing decisions by board of managements For the methodology, Fixed Effect Model is used to test the results of regression model Non-random statistics of Fixed Effect Model would be more efficient and consistent in order to reduce the level of bias The data set will be arranged by panel data, which combined both cross section and time series, helped to improve the significant results of regression model Policy implications carefully mentioned about the limitation of both Pecking order and Trade-off theories in Vietnam evidence For Pecking order, board of management prefers to use external financing budgets by issuing new bonds or stocks rather than internal financing capital The abuse of debt financing is also pointed out the hard pressures on banking system, securities markets, and the corporate governance structure of the listed firms Besides that, Trade-off theory has limited its effect in Vietnam due to centrally planned economy The government needs to change its administration in some listed real estate companies to create fair environment for the whole market TABLE OF CONTENTS

market eventually has lighted up positive signs of recovery, which followed the gains of the stock market, benefits of interest rate cuts, and expansionary changes in land and property ownership laws, stimulated the market’s liquidity The first chapter involves in five parts to present the overview of thesis research They consist of problem statement, research objectives, research questions, scope of study, and general structure of the study 1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT The financial crisis from 2007 to 2009 in the United States were mentioned the worst crash of economic system in Wall Street since the Great Depression happened in 1930s by research of Lee, Rabanal and Sandri (January, 2010) This trauma highly contributed to the failure of key businesses, reduced the living standards, and also resulted in a slowdown of whole national production activities It initially started with the U.S mortgage market and spread out its impact over the world as “domino effect” Vietnamese economy now is integrated its domestic market towards worldwide Therefore, the industrial real estate market in Vietnam could not avoid to be influenced in this twisting curse According to the study of Jehan and Luong (2008), they provided the problems of Vietnam real estate market in front of global financial crisis Their priority is given by lack of capital resources which came from credit agencies or financial institutions The function of many credit markets seriously stopped to function at all and impacted on other industries Most of local credit institutions admitted that the process took extreme constrains to provide lending credits to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) The problem is described as a downside bottleneck effect in the credit system because the tight monetary policies of governments Basing on research paper of Pham et al (August, 2013), they clarified transparently the important contribution of SMEs to Vietnamese economy They also pointed out the policy implications to reduce the stress of bottle neck effect which may help government to restore economic growth In fact, the industrial real estate in Vietnam has experienced with the hardest landing since the last booming period of the housing marketing in 2001 Do, Zhang and Zheng (2014) demonstrated his argument of frozen liquidity in Vietnam real estate market Due to low turnover, low disbursement, and sharp fall of housing prices, there is calculated approximate $3.1 billion USD of inventories for listed real estate companies in 2012 Their statistics announced that 10,077 of local real estate enterprises had to close their business due to low trading liquidity in 2013 Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi are two largest areas which flooded in huge volume of inventories In details, Hanoi had inventories of over 6,580 apartments and Ho Chi Minh had inventories of 7,830 apartments, which were worth of 12,900 billion VND and 17,480 billion VND respectively When the total demand unexpectedly dropped to a lower level, the companies did not know how to settle down their current debts Most of Vietnamese enterprises still are vulnerable due to not only volatility of financial market but also different economic scenarios One more reason is that most of Vietnamese enterprises are developing and limited experiences, so they may receive the prospect of default when the crisis suddenly come into them (Jehan and Luong, 2008) The main specification of the real estate market is to require a huge amount of capital to accomplish the housing projects To evaluate the effectiveness of capital structure in real estate sector, time lags in different economic scenarios are the most struggling obstacles which somehow lead to wrong final financial decisions The market may be immediately impacted by changes of the equity market, but it takes time to reflect on business activities Companies will fall deeper to the bottom if they not resolve immediately the current issues by adjusting their capital structure to lower level Vicol (2010) successfully demonstrated in his thesis research that real estate companies in the crisis scenarios would face a lot of issues relating to their own business activities such as financial cash flow, general operations, inventories, and depreciation methodology affecting their adjustments of capital structure The author realizes that there is an abnormal phenomenon in Vietnamese enterprises related to real estate sector The high debt ratio in their financial statement alerted the risk-on to business activities when the market crashed Although facing with high interest expenses and low level of market demand, most of real estate enterprises are willing to borrow more short-term debts in order to maintain their current business activities This strange phenomenon will be explained by hypotheses and assumptions in this study are basing on two primary theories of corporate capital structure decisions which are ranked as theories of trade-off and pecking order However, not only all of the problems came from the internal business operations, but also these potential externalities may impact on the consequences, such as monetary policies and management levels By applying theories of the trade-off and pecking order, we expect to find down the determinants which will make any significant effect on capital structure in real estate corporations towards a specific optimal financial decision in the future 1.2 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES First of all, this research paper tries to verify clearly the concepts and priorities of defining corporate capital structure By Trade-off and Pecking Order theories, the author wants to test the impact of both theories on each of determinants Secondly, the author would like to start with analyzing the debt ratio during the crisis Kantor and Holdsworth (2010) showed that the leverage of firm gradually Zhang, H & Li, S (2008) The Impact of Capital Structure on Agency Costs: Evidence
