The Special Issue is associated with a broad coverage of the contemporary issues in Business and Economics in Vietnam and other emerging markets reflecting a key theme of VBER2019: Vietnam?s Place in the Asia Pacific Region. A total of 14 papers were published from more than the 120 submissions to the VBER2019 Conference. Published papers had been undergone a rigorous reviewing process conducted by the Journal of Risk and Financial Management. The papers incorporated in this book address contemporary issues in business and economics from Vietnam and other emerging markets in the Asian region from various angles such as economics, finance, and statistics to management science. At the time of writing this note, some of the papers have attracted more than 1000 downloads in 3 months. In particular, a paper on ?Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth from Developing Countries in the Short Run and Long Run? by Trang Thi-Huyen Dinh and her team has attracted almost 6000 downloads in 3 months. These statistics indicate that the papers published in this Special Issue have attracted the wide interest of readers. Among these 14 published papers, three main areas of important contemporary issues in Business and Economics in the Asian region can be identified. First, a block of papers deals with various important and fundamental issues in the emerging markets the Asian region, from exchange rate regime, financial inclusion, and financial development to energy consumption and environmental degradation. On the issue of CO2 emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in the ASEAN, Vo, Vo, and Le utilized various time series econometrics approaches. Key findings from this paper indicate that there are no long-run relationships among carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, energy consumption, renewable energy, population growth, and economic growth in the Philippines and Thailand, but a relationship does exist in Indonesia, Myanmar, and Malaysia. Loo, in his paper on financial inclusion for the ASEAN, concluded that advancing internet capability and availability present investors an opportunity to offer financial technology or Fintech to meet the need for financial services in this digital era. Second, a challenge in quantitative studies for a single country, such as Vietnam, with limited data is generally noted. However, various empirical studies on Vietnam?s business and economics issues have been conducted. Nguyen, Quan, and Pham examined the cultural distance and entry mode of foreign direct investment in Vietnam. A key finding from their paper is that when there is a great cultural difference between Vietnam and their home country, foreign-invested firms prefer wholly owned subsidiaries over equity joint ventures. Within the Vietnamese market, Pham, Vo, Ho, and McAleer conducted a study on the issue of corporate financial distress. The authors conclude that the corporate financial distress prediction model, which includes accounting factors with macroeconomic indicators, performs much better than alternative models. In addition, the evidence confirms that the global financial crisis (GFC) had a damaging impact on each sector, with the Health & Education sector demonstrating the most impressive recovery post-GFC, and the utilities sector recording a dramatic increase in bankruptcies post-GFC. At another extreme of the spectrum, Van and Nguyen considered that competitive context, social influences, the understanding of managers about corporate social responsibility (CSR), and the internal environment of companies are the four drivers of CSR. The authors also argued that in the four drivers, competitive context has the strongest impact on adopting CSR. Third, last but not least, various papers focus on an important aspect of public finance. For an example, Pham, Pham, and Ly documented the effect of double taxation treaties on the bilateral trade of Vietnam with ASEAN member states, thereby making an extensive comparison with its EU partner countries. Their findings indicate the significant contributions of the tax treaties to Vietnam?s trade performance, not exclusively with ASEAN but also with EU partner countries. In addition, regarding public finance for Vietnam, Nguyen, Vo, Ho, and Vo investigated the contribution of fiscal decentralisation to economic growth across provinces in Vietnam. For the first time in Vietnam, the fiscal decentralisation index together its two subcomponents, including fiscal importance and fiscal autonomy, are developed. Findings from this paper indicate that while fiscal importance and an overall level of fiscal decentralisation have provided negative impact on provincial economic growth, fiscal autonomy has a positive impact on economic growth across provinces in Vietnam. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $afiscal autonomy 610 $afiscal decentralisation 610 $afiscal importance 610 $aDGMM 610 $aVietnam 610 $aperformance 610 $ainternationalization 610 $aorganizational slack 610 $aASEAN 610 $aCO2 emissions 610 $aeconomic growth 610 $aEKC 610 $aenergy consumption 610 $aGranger causality 610 $aVECM 610 $aurbanization 610 $aincome inequality 610 $aDriscoll and Kraay 610 $aPMG 610 $aagricultural commodity prices 610 $avolatility 610 $acrude oil prices 610 $astructural vector autoregressive model 610 $aimpulse response functions 610 $apecking order theory 610 $atrade off theory 610 $acapital structure 610 $aGMM 610 $alisted firms 610 $aindustry level 610 $acorporate financial distress 610 $abankruptcy 610 $adistance to default 610 $afundamentals 610 $aGlobal Financial Crisis 610 $adouble taxation treaty 610 $atrade 610 $agravity model 610 $afinancial development 610 $aFMOLS 610 $aDOLS 610 $aemerging markets 610 $acorporate social responsibility 610 $atextile and garment industry 610 $aforeign direct investment (FDI) 610 $aendogenous growth 610 $adeveloping countries 610 $afinancial inclusion 610 $aFintech 610 $arisk 610 $aforeign direct investment 610 $acompetitiveness 610 $aexchange rate regime 610 $aAsia 610 $aReinhart and Rogoff 610 $acultural distance 610 $aentry mode 610 $aequity joint venture 610 $awholly owned subsidiary 610 $afiscal decentralization 610 $aexchange rate 610 $aAsian region 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aChang$b Chia-Lin$4edt$01311291 702 $aVo$b Duc Hong$4edt 702 $aChang$b Chia-Lin$4oth 702 $aVo$b Duc Hong$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557784803321 996 $aContemporary Issues in Business and Economics$93030205 997 $aUNINA
