CHAPTER 1 SUMMARY

In Chapter 1, the author outlines the factors affecting the ability to access bank credit and presents the current situation of listed companies on Vietnam's stock market . In addition, the author has summarized and presented a number of research results around the world on factors affecting the ability of enterprises to access bank credit . In the next chapter, the author will present a research model including model building and selection of variables to represent the model.

CHAPTER 2

RESEARCH METHODS AND RESEARCH MODEL

2.1. Data source and sampling method

2.1.1. Data source

– Official data is collected from audited financial statements for 2010, 2011, 2012 of companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) and Hanoi (HNX). Information collected is the production and business situation, financial situation by industry of listed companies through the websites of Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, Hanoi Stock Exchange, Phuong Nam Securities Joint Stock Company...

2.1.2. Sampling method

Within the scope of this topic, the author uses the stratified sampling method to select the research sample, specifically:

First, the author divides the overall study into two groups according to criteria related to the research purpose, which are enterprises according to the stock exchange (Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi Stock Exchange) and the number of sample units selected in each. The group follows the proportion of the number of units that the group occupies in the study population. Then in each group, the author uses the systematic random sampling method to select the units of the sample.

Based on the sample size selection table prepared by Krejcie &. Morgan (1970) announced (see Appendix 1), and according to the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange and the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the total number of listed companies as of August 20, 2013 on these two exchanges is 737, excluding 40 enterprises in finance & insurance industry, the number of enterprises in the overall study is 697 enterprises, so the study selected a sample size of 242 samples.

In addition, the total number of enterprises listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange is 293 enterprises, accounting for 42.04%; the total number of enterprises listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange is 404 enterprises, accounting for 57.96%. Therefore, the author divides the number of samples on each stock exchange according to the following ratio: the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange is 102 samples and the Hanoi Stock Exchange is 140 samples.

2.2. Research Methods

- Qualitative research

Using exploratory research, specifically through secondary documents, including background theories and previous scientific studies, to answer 2 questions:

+ What factors affect the ability of enterprises to access bank credit?

+ How to determine the correlation between access to bank credit and factors such as the number of years of operation of the company, revenue growth, fixed asset growth, profitability, company size company, gender, connection to the bank?

The answer to question 1 is in chapter 1, part 1.1 (factors affecting access to bank credit). To answer question 2, participants conduct quantitative research.

- Quantitative research

In the study, the author uses an econometric model, specifically a probit regression model, to determine how the research factors affect the ability of enterprises to access bank credit. Software used is SPSS 18.0

Detailed steps are as follows:

+ Based on existing studies and similar to this research topic of scientists around the world, proposing an appropriate model in Vietnam when studying the factors affecting credit access. corporate bank.

+ Based on a theoretical overview to identify research hypotheses, research factors have a positive or negative impact on the ability to access bank credit of enterprises.

+ Using SPSS 18.0 software to test the proposed model, thereby giving the research results to compare with the results of previous studies.

2.3.2 Setting up the research model

As described in the object and scope of the study, the thesis will focus mainly on studying the impact of factors affecting the ability to access bank credit of enterprises listed on the stock market. Vietnam. Based on the previous research models presented in the theoretical basis, research results and actual conditions of Vietnam, the project builds a regression model as follows:

2.4. Research hypothesis

– The number of years of operation of the company and the possibility of limited access to bank credit The older the company, the more it proves that the company's ability to manage and compete is good, so it can survive in the market. In addition, they also accumulate a stable number of customers and have a more stable source of income than startups.

Hypothesis H1: The number of years of operation of the company has a negative effect (-) on the ability to have limited access to bank credit

– Revenue growth and limited access to bank credit

If the company has an annual increase in revenue, it will bring to the business a source of revenue to pay expenses related to the operation of the business such as staff costs, loan interest, other administrative expenses...

Hypothesis H2: The company's annual revenue growth has a negative (-) effect on the ability to have limited access to bank credit

– Growth in fixed assets and limited access to bank credit

Investing in increasing fixed assets to increase annual productivity is a natural thing that every business does when expanding its production scale. This shows the growth potential of the business. On the other hand, fixed assets can be an auxiliary source of debt repayment, helping the bank to reduce the risk of loss once the company is no longer able to repay the bank debt.

Hypothesis H3: A firm's annual fixed asset growth has a negative (-) effect on the ability to have limited access to bank credit.

– No profit and limited access to bank credit

If the business is not profitable that affects the ability of the business to operate, the risk of bankruptcy increases. Banks will face a high risk of losing capital when lending to these businesses.

Hypothesis H4: Unprofitable firm has a positive (+) effect on restricted access to bank credit

– Company size and limited access to bank credit

Large-scale enterprises with financial strength, assets, technology and management capabilities will easily exploit the advantages of scale to minimize input costs and increase output efficiency. in order to reduce product costs to increase competitiveness, thereby increasing the operational efficiency of enterprises. Therefore, the ability to access bank credit for medium and large enterprises is often higher than that of small enterprises.

Hypothesis H5: Medium-sized firms have a negative (-) effect on limited access to bank credit.

Hypothesis H6: Firm size has a negative (-) effect on limited access to bank credit

– Gender of the company owner is female and limited access to bank credit

The gender of the company owner also affects the bank's credit review.

Hypothesis H7: Female-owned companies have a positive (+) effect on limited access to bank credit
