Impacts of External Financing on The Risk Level of Viet Nam Software Industry During and After The Global Crisis 2007-2009
Abstract
This paper estimates the impacts of external financing on market risk for the listed firms in the Viet
nam software industry, esp. after the financial crisis 2007-2009.
First, by using quantitative and analytical methods to estimate asset and equity beta of total 6 listed
companies in Viet Nam software industry with a proper traditional model, we found out that the beta
values, in general, for many institutions are acceptable.
Second, under 3 different scenarios of changing leverage (in 2011 financial reports, 30% up and 20%
down), we recognized that the risk level, measured by equity and asset beta mean, decreases (0,284)
when leverage increases to 30% and vice versa.
Third, by changing leverage in 3 scenarios, we recognized the dispersion of risk level increases
(measured by equity beta var) if the leverage increases to 30%.
Finally, this paper provides some outcomes that could provide companies and government more
evidence in establishing their policies in governance.
