FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF CARBON PRICING ON HIGHEMISSION SECTORS IN VIETNAM’S INDUSTRIAL ZONES

Cong Tu Huu — 2026-03-27

This study examines the financial implications of carbon pricing on high-emission sectors in Vietnam,
including manufacturing, textiles, energy, and cement. Using a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium
(DSGE) model, the study finds that carbon pricing leads to increased operational costs and short-term
declines in profitability, particularly in the energy and cement sectors, while simultaneously encouraging
investment in clean technologies. However, smaller firms face greater financial constraints compared to
larger firms. Complementary qualitative insights reveal concerns about declining international
competitiveness in export-oriented industries and emphasize the need for stronger government support. The
study concludes that although carbon pricing is effective in reducing emissions, its overall success depends
on supportive policies to ensure a balanced and sustainable transition to a low-carbon economy.

Trần Thị Thùy Dương — 2026-03-14

In the context of globalization and increasing
pressure from climate change, green supply
chain management (GSCM) has emerged as a
crucial strategic approach to balance economic
growth with environmental protection. In
Southeast Vietnam, the country’s key industrial
hub, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
are facing growing pressure to adopt green
transformation, yet there remains a lack of
systematic research. This study employs a
bibliometric analysis based on 133 scholarly
publications (2014-2025) retrieved from Scopus.
The findings identify seven core factor groups
determining GSCM effectiveness, extending the
theoretical framework and proposing a practical
reference tool for SMEs to develop green
strategies. Future research directions include
empirical validation and assessment of green

Huỳnh Chí Giỏi — 2026-03-15

This study is conducted to systematize the
theoretical foundations of service quality and
satisfaction, identify the factors affecting office
employees’ satisfaction with Online Food
Delivery Services (OFDS), and assess the
impact level of each factor. Based on the
research model, measurement scales adapted
from previous studies are refined through
qualitative research and expert consultation,
then tested using quantitative methods with
SPSS 26.0, including Cronbach’s Alpha,
Exploratory Factor Analysis, correlation analysis,
and multiple linear regression. The results show
that five factors influence office employees’
satisfaction with OFDS, with effort expectancy
having the strongest effect, followed by reliability,
hedonic motivation, perceived value, and

RISK IDENTIFICATION AND PROFIT OPTIMIZATION FOR STAKEHOLDERS IN COMMODITY TRADING MARKETS: EVIDENCE FROM VIETNAM

Nguyen Duc Thanh — 2026-03-05

This study investigates how key market risk factors affect profitability in Vietnam’s commodity trading
markets during the 2013–2023 period. The analysis focuses on five modelled determinants of profitability,
namely price volatility, exchange rate fluctuations, policy risk, market liquidity, and GDP growth. A two-step
System Generalized Method of Moments estimator is employed to examine the dynamic relationship
between these factors and profitability while addressing endogeneity and persistence in panel data. To
complement the regression analysis, Value-at-Risk is used to quantify the downside exposure of major
traded commodities under different confidence levels. The findings indicate that price volatility, currency
fluctuations, and policy risk exert significant negative effects on profitability, whereas market liquidity and
GDP growth have significant positive effects. The results also show that crude oil exhibits the highest
downside risk, followed by aluminum and rice. The study contributes empirical evidence from an emerging
market context by linking dynamic profitability estimation with commodity-specific risk quantification. The
findings imply that market participants should strengthen exchange rate and price-risk management, while
policymakers should improve regulatory stability and market liquidity to support more sustainable trading
performance

A study of Metal Manufacturing Supply Chain Management Strategy qualifies IWAY-CSR Criteria at Ikea Southeast Asia

Hoang-Phi Nguyen Ngoc — 2026-03-20

In Southeast Asia, where metal suppliers must
simultaneously meet regulatory standards for
quality, cost and sustainability, IKEA chose a
different path: combining the IWAY–CSR
management framework with artificial
intelligence (AI) through the network model and
ANN–GA genetic algorithm. This study focuses
on analyzing IKEA Southeast Asia’s IWAY–CSR
metal supplier control strategy, in which artificial
intelligence is used as a data-based decision
support tool, helping to eliminate human
emotions in supplier selection and enhance
customer transparency in price evaluation. The
results show that the IWAY–CSR model
combined with ANN-GA not only contributes to
minimizing errors and optimizing costs, but also
provides transparency, fairness and sustainable
development in the supply chain, where trust is
built from real data and evidence, instead of
human emotions.

CRYPTO-9 INDEX AND SYSTEMIC RISK SPILLOVERS TO SOUTHEAST ASIAN STOCK MARKETS DURING 2020–2025

Lê Hoàng Anh — 2026-03-19

This study examines the spillover of systemic risk
from the cryptocurrency market to six Southeast
Asian stock markets over the period from 2020
to 2025, with a sample of 1,966 daily
observations. Using Principal Component
Analysis (PCA), the authors construct a
composite Crypto-9 index from the nine leading
cryptocurrencies. A Time-Varying Parameter
Vector Autoregression (TVP-VAR) model is then
combined with the Diebold-Yilmaz
connectedness framework and complex network
theory to quantify systemic risk transmission
from the cryptocurrency market to the six
Southeast Asian stock markets. The empirical
results indicate that the full-sample average Total
Connectedness Index (TCI) reaches 68.01%,
reflecting a high degree of interconnectedness
across markets. The Crypto-9 index emerges as
the strongest net transmitter of risk shocks, with
a net intensity of +29.38%, whereas the PSEI
(−19.85%), the SET (−18.13%), and the JCI
(−17.10%) are identified as the three largest net
receivers, suggesting that the Philippine, Thai,
and Indonesian stock markets are the most
vulnerable to cryptocurrency fluctuations.
Building on these findings, the authors
operationalize the analytical framework into a
real-time monitoring tool developed with
Streamlit, intended to support surveillance and
early warning functions for regulatory authorities.

Nguyễn Quỳnh Phương — 2026-03-07

Grounded in service quality and customer
satisfaction theories, the study proposes a
research model consisting of six factors:
reliability, timeliness, assurance, tangibles,
empathy, and order discrepancy handling
capability. The inclusion of order discrepancy
handling capability reflects the service recovery
capacity of logistics providers. Data were
collected from customers using logistics services
in Ho Chi Minh City and analyzed using
quantitative statistical methods. The findings
reveal that all proposed factors have a positive
and significant impact on customer satisfaction.
Among them, assurance has the strongest
influence, emphasizing the crucial role of
professional competence and trust-building
ability in logistics service delivery. Additionally,
the results confirm the statistically significant role
of order discrepancy handling capability,
indicating that effective discrepancy
management has become increasingly important
in the logistics context of Ho Chi Minh City.
Based on the findings, the study offers several
managerial implications to improve service
quality and enhance customer satisfaction.

Calculation of turning parameters of fourwheel-drive vehicles and their effect on operational safety

Cao Xuân Điệp — 2026-03-09

This paper investigates the stability of a two-axle
vehicle during non-uniform dynamic cornering,
focusing on skid and rollover phenomena.
Mathematical models have been developed to
determine the lateral and normal reactions on the
vehicle axles, as well as the critical speeds for
skid and rollover. The results show that skid
usually occurs at the rear axle first, and if not
controlled, may lead to rollover. The critical
rollover speed increases with greater track width,
lower center of gravity height, larger road
banking angle, and larger turning radius;
whereas the critical skid speed increases with a
higher tire-road friction coefficient and a larger
turning radius. These formulas can be applied to
predict the behavior of two-axle vehicles under
real road conditions and to calculate road
superelevation on curved sections, thereby
enhancing operational safety.

Study on the development of a freeze-dried snack production process from substandard Cucumis melo var. reticulatus

Nguyễn Kim Khánh — 2026-03-23

This study aimed to develop an optimized
process for producing freeze-dried Cucumis
melo var. reticulatus snacks from substandard
fruits. The objective was to utilize an abundant
raw material that does not meet commercial size
standards to create a value-added product,
thereby reducing agricultural waste. The effects
of added sugar content (10 - 30 g), ascorbic acid
concentration (0.2 - 0.5 g), and soaking time (7 -
10 min) on product quality were investigated. The
optimal results indicated that a processing
condition of 29.33 g sugar, 0.2 g ascorbic acid,
and a soaking time of 7 min produced the best
sensory quality. The final product exhibited low
moisture content (1.2%), ash content of 0.4%,
total sugar content 98,24g/1kg, color deviation
ΔE* 25.6 met microbiological safety
requirements, and retained its characteristic
color and flavor
