This research analyzes the fluctuations on market risk for the listed firms in the Vietnam real estate, construction and construction material industries as it becomes necessary, esp. after the financial crisis 2007-2011. It also provides us with a model to identify key causes of these above risk fluctuations. Firstly, by using quantitative and analytical methods to estimate asset and equity beta of the total 205 listed companies in Vietnam’s real estate, construction and construction material industry with a proper traditional model, we found that in the viewpoint of asset beta used as market risk measurement, the construction industry has the lowest risk, next is the construction material industry and real estate one has the highest risk. Secondly, we recognized that in the real estate, construction and construction material industry, the main factors affecting market risk are GDP growth, lending rate, and inflation. Thirdly, by using a proper quantitative analysis method, the study realized that in the viewpoint of asset beta, construction industry has the lowest market risk because of GDP growth decreasing, inflation increasing and average income increasing. On the contrary, real estate industry has the highest market risk because GDP growth decreases and lending rate increases. Finally, this paper provides some outcomes that could provide companies and government with more evidence in establishing their policies in governance and in monitoring these industries.

Agricultural export enterprises play an important role in the economy, contributing significantly to economic development and growth. Optimizing their operations can support the building of a sustainable economy. In this study, Stata software was used to select an appropriate regression model to evaluate the impact of factors on the profitability of agricultural export enterprises in Vietnam in the period from 2013 - 2022. Research results have shown that debt ratio, asset structure, and operating time of the business all have a significant impact on the return on assets and equity. Other factors have only a strong impact on one of these two factors or are not statistically significant in explaining the impact on profitability. This result emphasizes the importance of agricultural export enterprises reviewing their capital structure and asset structure and carefully evaluating the impact of these factors in the process of building business strategies to optimize profitability.
