retail companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) and the Ha Noi Stock Exchange (HNX) in the period 2011-2020 The author has collected a dataset of 21 retail companies listed on HOSE and HNX The thesis also assessed the influence of factors on the dividend payout policy of retail companies listed on HOSE and HNX during the research period Research data is tabular data and multivariable linear regression model in three ways: Pooled OLS, FEM and REM The author ran each model in turn and used the necessary tests to choose the most suitable model The author analyzes the results of the most suitable model and based on the research results, the author finds that the factors: liquidity (LIQ) has a positive relationship with dividend payout policy The remaining variables such as revenue growth rate (GROW), earnings per share (EPS), and firm size (SIZE) have a negative relationship with dividend payout policy and the variables of financial leverage (LEV) and profitability (ROA) are not statistically significant in this research model v CONTENTS LIST OF CHART .i LIST OF TABLE i LIST OF PICTURE i LIST OF ACRONYMS ii CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW 1.1 INTRODUCTION
