Optimal capital adequacy ratio: An investigation of Vietnamese commercial banks using two-stage DEA

Over the last years the Vietnamese banking system has been struggling to restructure, reform governance, consolidate financial statements and build up merge and acquisition, in line with international standards. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) proposed BASEL III in 2010, whereby banks m...
