Vietnam Inbound M&A Activity: the Role of Government Policy and Regulatory Environment

With a robust recent history of reform and opening, joining of the World Trade Organization, and negotiating a myriad of regional and global trade agreements, Vietnam has emerged as a promising destination for foreign direct investment(FDI) and cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A). In this paper, we providean overview of Vietnam’s inbound mergers and acquisitions and review the twomain driving forces of inbound M&A, which are the legal framework reformprocess and the equitization of State-owned enterprises. We close by providingdirections for future research in the area of cross-border M&As

Dynamics of horizontal-like maps in higher dimension

We study the regularity of the Green currents and of the equilibrium measure associated to a horizontal-like map in C^k, under a natural assumption on the dynamical degrees. We estimate the speed of convergence towards the Green currents, the decay of correlations for the equilibrium measure and the Lyapounov exponents. We show in particular that the equilibrium measure is hyperbolic. We also show that the Green currents are the unique invariant vertical and horizontal positive closed currents. The results apply, in particular, to Henon-like maps, to regular polynomial automorphisms of C^k and to their small pertubations.Comment: Dedicated to Professor Gennadi Henkin on the occasion of his 65th birthday, 37 pages, to appear in Advances in Mat
