Capital Structure And Cost Of Capital In Vietnam: A Comparative Study Real Estate - Construction Materials - Consumption Goods

Abstract

This thesis investigates the differences in capital structure and cost of capital across the real estate, construction materials, and consumption goods sectors in Vietnam. Using data from 30 companies between 2015 and 2023, we apply quantitative analysis methods, including ANOVA and linear regression, to test three hypotheses regarding sectoral variations and the impact of capital structure on cost of capital. The findings reveal significant differences in capital structures among the sectors and a complex relationship between capital structure and cost of capital. However, there are limited positive results from this research
