- ItemA cross-country analysis on diversification, Sukuk investment, and the performance of Islamic banking systems under the COVID-19 pandemic(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-03-18) Le TDQ; Ho TH; Nguyen DT; Ngo TThis study investigates the relationship between diversification and Islamic banking systems' performance under the impact of the COVID-19 turmoil using a sample of 24 countries from 2013Q4 and 2020Q4. The findings indicate that the performance of Islamic banking systems is positively associated with sectoral diversification of Shari'ah-compliant financing and income diversification. Although this study confirms a negative impact of the COVID-19 shock, income diversification is found to mitigate the adverse effect of this health crisis on the performance of the Islamic banking systems. In which, Sukuk investment is considered an essential channel for pursuing this diversification strategy. Therefore, this research has important implications for policymakers, managers, and academics.
- ItemA Dataset for the Vietnamese Banking System (2002–2021)(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2022-09) Le TDQ; Ho TH; Ngo T; Nguyen DT; Tran SH; Guijarro FThis data article describes a dataset that consists of key statistics on the activities of 45 Vietnamese banks (e.g., deposits, loans, assets, and labor productivity), operated during the 2002–2021 period, yielding a total of 644 bank-year observations. This is the first systematic compilation of data on the splits of state vs. private ownership, foreign vs. domestic banks, commercial vs. policy banks, and listed vs. nonlisted banks. Consequently, this arrives at a unique set of variables and indicators that allow us to capture the development and performance of the Vietnamese banking sector over time along many different dimensions. This can play an important role for financial analysts, researchers, and educators in banking efficiency and performance, risk and profit/revenue management, machine learning, and other fields.

- ItemAirfares data in New Zealand domestic aviation market(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2021-08-09) Ho TH; Nguyen DT; Ngo T; Le TDQ; Dray LPrice competition has been a growing concern of worldwide researchers and managers. In the aviation market, especially with the help from e-commerce platforms such as Expedia, TripAdvisor, and SkyScanner, airfares are now available to customers in the easiest and quickest way. It thus allows airlines to match their fares immediately and simultaneously upon any changes of their rivals, given that customer’ choices are made with regard to their incomes. This study provides a dataset on domestic airfares in New Zealand that could be useful for future studies in the fields of marketing, business and economics, transportation and aviation, or management. The dataset covers 12 trunk routes and 40 secondary routes in New Zealand from 19 September 2019 to 18 December 2019, a total of 90 days. It provides a rich dataset of more than 162,000 observations regarding the airfare, departure time, arrival time, flight duration, airline, departure airport, arrival airport, transiting airport, and so on. There are possibilities to extend the dataset (e.g., in terms of flying distance, airport characteristics, and airline characteristics) to make it be valuable for future study.
- ItemBank performance during the COVID-19 pandemic: does income diversification help?(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-06-11) Ho TH; Nguyen DT; Luu TB; Le TDQ; Ngo TDThe Covid-19 pandemic’s economic effect led to tighter credit standards and a decline in the market for many types of loans. With a rich database of 1,231 banks in 90 countries from 2018Q1 to 2021Q4, we conducted a timely, broad-based international study to investigate whether non-interest activities, serving as a shock absorber, can promote bank performance before and during the Covid−19 pandemic. When using a dynamic panel data model with a system GMM estimator, our findings indicate that banks should be encouraged to diversify their income sources to reduce the adverse effects of the shock. With comparative analysis, we also found heterogeneous effects of income diversification on bank performance by its components, in pre-Covid−19 and during-Covid−19 periods, in both developed and developing countries. This study implies that bank managers should diversify income sources, especially fee-based services, trading activities, and foreign currency, to foster financial performance and stability during exogenous shocks.
- ItemDigital Credit and Its Determinants: A Global Perspective(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2023-12) Le TDQ; Ngo T; Nguyen DT; Ftiti ZDigital credit has gained much attention from academic researchers, practitioners, and policymakers worldwide. This study empirically evaluates the determinants of digital credit using cross-country data from 2013 to 2019. The conventional ordinary least square regression with fixed effects estimator is used to investigate the factors affecting the growth of digital credit. Our study highlights that the regulatory frameworks of anti-money laundering and terrorist financing, the economy’s innovative capacity, and financial development are significant factors affecting the development of digital credit, especially fintech credit. However, the findings indicate that only the innovation capacity is more critical to the expansion of bigtech credit. Nonetheless, our results provide some important implications for market participants and the authorities in promoting digital credit. Accordingly, this study contributes to the literature on the growth of digital credit when considering the critical roles of money laundering and terrorist financing frameworks and innovation capacity.
- ItemEfficiency in Vietnamese banking: A meta-regression analysis approach(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2021-09) Ho TH; Nguyen DT; Ngo T; Le TDQ; Balvers R; Boubaker SThis study explains the differences and variances in the efficiency scores of the Vietnamese banking sector retrieved from 27 studies published in refereed academic journals under the frame-work of meta-regression analysis. These scores are mainly based on frontier efficiency measurements, which essentially are Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) for Vietnamese banks over the period of 2007–2019. The meta-regression is estimated by using truncated regression to obtain bias-corrected scores. Our findings suggest that only the year of publication is positively correlated with efficiency, whilst the opposite is true for the data type, and sample size.
- ItemFintech Credit and Bank Efficiency: International Evidence(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2021-08-17) Le TDQ; Ho TH; Nguyen DT; Ngo T; Boubaker SThe expansion of fintech credit around the world is challenging the global banking system. This study investigates the interrelationships between the development of fintech credit and the efficiency of banking systems in 80 countries from 2013 to 2017. The findings indicate a two-way relationship between them. More specifically, a negative relationship between bank efficiency and fintech credit implies that fintech credit is more developed in countries with less efficient banking systems. Meanwhile, a positive impact of fintech credit on the efficiency of banking systems suggests that fintech credit may serve as a wake-up call to the banking system. Therefore, fintech credit should be encouraged by the authorities around the world.
- ItemICT as a Key Determinant of Efficiency: A Bootstrap-Censored Quantile Regression (BCQR) Analysis for Vietnamese Banks(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2022-06-16) Le TDQ; Ngo T; Ho TH; Nguyen DT; Boubaker SThere is evidence that ICT developments can improve bank efficiency and performance. Previous studies often employ data envelopment analysis (DEA) to first examine bank performance and then use a second-stage regression to explain the influences of other environmental factors, including ICT, on such efficiency. Since DEA efficiency scores are bounded between the (0, 1] intervals, Tobit and truncated regressions are commonly used in this stage. However, none has accounted for the skewness characteristic of DEA efficiency. This paper applied a bootstrap-censored quantile regression (BCQR) approach to triply account for the issues of a small sample (via bootstrap), bounded intervals (via censored regression), and skewness (via quantile regression) in DEA analysis. We empirically examined the efficiency and performance of 27 Vietnamese commercial banks in the 2007–2019 period. The efficiency scores derived from our first stage revealed that they are skewed and thus, justify the use of the BCQR in the second stage. The BCQR results further confirmed that ICT developments could enhance bank efficiency, which supports the recent policy to restructure the Vietnamese banking sector toward innovation and digitalization. We also examined the impacts of other factors such as bank ownership, credit risk, and bank size on efficiency.
- ItemIntellectual capital–bank efficiency nexus: evidence from an emerging market(Cogent OA, 2022-10-03) Le TDQ; Ho TNT; Nguyen DT; Ngo T; McMillan DThis paper investigates the effect of intellectual capital (IC) and its components on the efficiency of Vietnamese commercial banks from 2007 to 2019 using the two-step Data Envelopment Analysis approach. Banks’ efficiency scores are firstly estimated, while the relationship between IC and bank efficiency is examined in the second stage. The results indicate a positive relationship between IC and banks’ pure technical efficiency, allocative efficiency, and total cost efficiency. When observing the effect of IC decompositions, the findings show that only human capital enhances all types of bank efficiency. Furthermore, bank size and liquidity risk are significant drivers of Vietnamese bank efficiency. Therefore, our findings suggest that bank managers should focus on intellectual capital, particularly human capital, to strengthen bank efficiency further.
- ItemRevisiting the Quiet-Life Hypothesis in the Banking Sector: Do CEOs’ Personalities Matter?(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2024-03-20) Le TDQ; Nguyen DT; Ngo T; Bolton BThis study investigates the relationship between market power and bank profitability, and the impacts of CEOs’ personality traits, in Vietnam from 2007 to 2020. The analysis of CEOs’ signatures is used to determine their characteristics. The findings support the quiet-life hypothesis, which suggests that the negative relationship between market power and bank profitability may depend on CEOs’ characteristics. More specifically, the results show that conscientious CEOs with market power tend to reduce bank profitability, and this effect is more pronounced for foreign-owned banks. Therefore, our findings have critical implications for bank management.
