When the host states do not comply with the investor-state arbitral awards voluntarily, it is difficult for the successful claimants to seek the enforcement of arbitral awards against the host state because of the doctrine of state immunity. This raises a question whether the investors might be able to seize the assets of the state-owned enterprises, as well as those of the host states. The investors might consider the properties held by state-owned enterprises as an attractive target especially when it has been established that the host state is responsible for the act of its state-owned enterprise. In such case, the investor might argue that the close relationship between the state-owned enterprise and the host state has already been recognized so that the commercial assets of the state-owned enterprise could be subject to attachment. On the other hand, the host state might argue that the state-owned entity exists separately from the state, and thus its assets cannot be equated with those of the host state. Moreover, even if this argument is not accepted and, as a result, the properties of the state-owned entity is equated with those of the host state, the host state might still be able to argue that non-commercial assets of the state-owned enterprise are immune from execution.

This paper explores the impact of capital structure on firm performance in the context of Vietnam. The paper investigates the different effect of capital structure on firm performance in state-owned and non-state enterprises listed on the Vietnam stock market. The panel data of research sample includes 488 non-financial listed companies on the Vietnam stock market for a period of six years, from 2013 to 2018. The Generalized Least Square (GLS) is employed to address econometric issues and to improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients. In this research, firm performance is measured by return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), and earnings per share (EPS). The ratios of short-term liabilities, long-term liabilities, and total liabilities to total assets are proxy for capital structure. Firm sizes, growth rate, liquidity, and ratio of fixed assets to total assets are control variables in the study. The empirical results show that capital structure has a statistically significant negative effect on the firm performance. The result also shows this effect is stronger in state-owned enterprises than non-state enterprises in Vietnam. These evidences provide a new insight to managers of both state-owned and non-state enterprises on how to improve the firm's performance with capital structure.

중국은 국민 경제 주력인 중앙기업이 일반 국유기업이나 민영기업과 달리 대부분 국가 정책적 영향을 받는 산업의 기업이다. 국유기업 시장화 개혁과정 중 중앙기업의 지주회사는 대부분 국가 경제발전과 안전보장에 대한 영역에 집중되어 있다. 이에 따라 중앙기업 지주회사의 경영성과는 국유자본 분포, 자본의 규범적 운행, 높은 수익과 자본안전의 유지 등에 막대한 영향을 미치고 있으며 정부 감사가 중앙기업의 지주 상장회사에 대한 관리와 감사를 강화시켜 국유자산 유출을 방지하고 국유자산의 가치를 증가 지킬 수 있다. 정부감사는 부패 척결, 재정적 금융안전유지 등에 중요한 역할을 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 상장기업의 회계 안전성 및 회계투명성 등을 개선 할 수 있다. 정부감사는 중앙상장기업의 경영 성과를 향상시킬 수 있고 국유자본 안전의 보장, 국유자산 유출 방지, 국유 자산의 가치를 증가 시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대되나, 기존연구는 중국의 정부감사와 중앙상장기업의 경영성과나 관리효율 간의 관계에 대한 분석이 부족한 상황이다. 본 논문은 2010~2017 년 중앙상장기업을 표본으로 회사관리이론과 공공수탁경제책임이론을 사용하여 정부감사가 중앙상장기업의 관리효율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과 중앙상장기업의 경영성과가 나쁠수록 정부감사를 받을 가능성이 커지며 정부감사가 중앙기업의 관리 효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 중국의 정부감사가 중앙상장기업의 경영목표를 달성하고, 경영효율을 제고하는 수단으로서 의미있는 역할을 수행하고 있음을 시사한다.

In recent years, Chinese firms have explosively increased outward foreign direct investment (oFDI). While state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are still dominant in Chinese oFDI, privately-owned enterprises (POEs) are also accelerating their internationalization. These two types of Chinese firms differ in their behavior regarding oFDI. The objective of this paper is to analyze the differences in the choice of oFDI locations between Chinese SOEs and POEs by considering host country factors. By integrating the literature on Chinese firms' oFDI and on FDI locations, we developed six hypotheses concerning how host country factors affect their choice of location. We tested our hypotheses by conducting multiple regression analysis with recent secondary data on 413 Chinese MNEs in 88 countries between 2005 and 2016. The results of the test show that in selecting oFDI locations, Chinese SOEs invest relatively more in countries with richer natural resources, more abundant strategic assets, less production efficiency, higher political risk, and lower institutional quality compared with Chinese POEs. It is our hope that the empirical results of this paper will contribute to research on Chinese oFDI.

Purpose - Economic globalization provides firms with a new channel to gain benefits from foreign countries. Therefore, using the real MNEs, this paper set China's firms as an example to explore the relationship between multinationality and performance. Research design, data, and methodology - Panel data from 2008 to 2017 was used and 390 multinational firms listed in China's A-share market was selected. Additionally, related econometric methods were employed to analyze the relationship between multinationality and performance in this study. The return on assets was treated as a dependent variable, and the sales of a firm, the firm age, the debt asset ratio of a firm, the ratio of foreign sales to total sales and the enterprise properties were treated as independent variables. All of these factors were used to conduct an empirical analysis. Results - The empirical findings in this study revealed that there is a linear relationship between multinationality and performance, as well as that non state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs) have a greater effect on the relationship between multinationality and performance than that of the state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Conclusions - On the basis of evidences this paper provided, China's government should take measures in the future to help China's firms when they fulfil international economic activities.

This paper analyzes factors affecting the debt maturity structure of enterprises listed on the Vietnam stock market. The panel data of research sample includes 549 non-financial listed enterprises on the Vietnam stock market from 2009 to 2019. The Generalized Least Square (GLS) tool is employed to address econometric issues and to improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients. In this research, debt maturity structure is the dependent variable. Capital structures, fixed assets, liquidity, firm size, asset maturity, profitability, corporate income tax, gross domestic product, inflation rate, credit growth scale are independent variables in the study. The model results show, that among the factors affecting the structure of debt maturity, the capital structure, asset structure, and firm size have the highest estimation coefficients, which shows that capital structure, asset structure, and firm size plays an important role in the decision-making process of debt maturity structure. The empirical results show that there are differences in the impact of these factors on the debt maturity structures in state-owned enterprises and non-state enterprises listed on the Vietnam stock market. The findings of this article are useful for business administrators, helping business managers make the right financial decisions to determine the target debt maturity structure in enterprises.

This paper attempts to investigate the determinants of capital structure of Vietnamese firms and also shed light on some of the factors of the modern theory of capital structure which is relevant for explaining the capital structure in advanced countries which are also relevant in the context of Vietnam. Using panel data from more than 1000 Vietnamese listed enterprises census 2017-2020, the paper finds that leverage ratio of Vietnamese firms is significantly related to probability. The firms have high level of fixed assets which they use as collateral, resulting in higher debt ratio, which is in line with the pecking order theory. The result also confirm that highly targeted debt ratio is positively correlated with the industry characteristics (using real estate firms as a benchmark), in which firm operates. Furthermore, consistent with the trade-off hypothesis, the leverage ratio is positively affected by non - debt tax shield. The result confirms that a large number of companies are state - owned, will have an insignificant impact of firm's size (as reverse proxy for bankruptcy cost) on leverage ratio. We also find that there is no distinction between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises due to strict adherence to the rules set by the Vietnamese government. Distinct from other countries, corporate income tax has slight impact on capital structure in Vietnamese firms.

Purpose -This paper is to study the process of the negative effects of Sino-foreign joint ventures, hoping to find out an effective path in which local enterprises can avoid the risks in the utilization of foreign capital, and ultimately achieve independent innovation. Research design, data, and methodology -The outflow of assets, the loss of local brands and the "technology hollowing-out" problem brought by joint ventures is becoming more and more serious. Based on conflict analysis graph model, this paper takes Yuhuan joint venture as an example to identify the conflict problem in Sino-foreign joint ventures. Results -The results of the stability analysis show that establishing joint venture cannot really realize the introduction of technology because the technology is fully controlled by the foreign part. So when introducing foreign capital, local enterprises should participate in R&D and master the initiative. Conclusions - Local enterprises should pay attention to patent containment and technology blockade of multinationals. Domestic enterprises should try to protect state-owned assets and local brands in Sino-foreign joint ventures. Independent innovation is the most effective strategy for the development of enterprises in China.

본 연구에서는 기업지배구조에서의 주요 연구사항인 CEO의 유형, 이사회 의장과 CEO의 분리, CEO와 비상임이사의 산업전문성과 재무전문성이 성과에 미치는 영향을 공기업의 특수한 환경인 공기업 CEO와 정치권 간 관계를 고려하여 분석하였다. 먼저 일반 대중의 지각에 영향을 미칠 만한 외관상 독립성을 기준으로 공기업 CEO의 판단, 활동, 보고에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 정치권과의 관계 또는 정치적 환경으로부터의 자유로움을 의미하는 '정치적 독립성' 개념을 도출하였다. 이를 통해, 기존의 선행연구가 공기업 CEO를 외형상 직업으로 구분하여 정치권에 종속된 인사를 파악할 수 없는 한계를 극복하고, CEO의 정치적 독립성이 훼손될 경우 공기업 성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지, 여타 공기업 지배구조 변수와 성과의 관계에 CEO의 정치적 독립성 훼손이 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 성과변수로는 총자산영업이익률과 고객만족도의 3년 평균 수치를 사용하였다. 이명박정부와 참여정부에서의 제반 공기업 인사정보와 재무정보를 활용하여 고정효과모형을 이용해 분석한 결과, 다음과 같은 중요한 사항이 도출되었다. 첫째, 공기업 CEO를 정치적 독립성 유무를 기준으로 구분하여 분석한 결과, 정치적 독립성이 훼손된 CEO(본 연구샘플 전체 CEO 중 41.1%가 이에 해당, 외부전문가 출신 CEO의 경우 61.8%가 이에 해당)는 고객만족도에 유의하게 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, "공공기관의 운영에 관한 법률"에 의해 도입된 공기업 이사회 의장과 CEO 분리정책은 공기업의 고객만족도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 그러나 CEO의 정치적 독립성이 훼손된 공기업에서는 이사회 의장 분리정책의 긍정적 효과가 상쇄되었다. 셋째, 비상임이사의 산업전문성은 총자산영업이익률에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 그러나 CEO의 정치적 독립성이 훼손된 공기업에서는 비상임이사 산업전문성의 긍정적인 효과가 상쇄되었다. 넷째, 이명박정부와 참여정부의 제반 공기업 지배구조 관련 변수 및 성과 현황을 비교한 결과, CEO의 정치적 독립성 훼손은 이명박정부에서 유의하게 높았으며, 비상임이사의 산업전문성과 재무전문성은 참여정부에서 유의하게 높았다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 CEO의 정치적 독립성 제고와 공기업 임원의 전문성 요건의 구체화를 위한 몇 가지 정책대안을 제시하였다.
