摘要：This paper investigates the impact of supply chain finance (SCF) and financial development on profitability of real estate firms in Vietnam over the 2013 - 2017 period. This is the first empirical research examining the impact of financial development on firm profitability. By employing GMM (generalized method of moment), this paper reveals the important role of supply chain finance (SCF) and financial development in profitability of real estate firms. Specifically, firm profitability (P) is influenced negatively by cash conversion cycle (CCC) and positively by financial development (FD). In addition, profitability is negatively correlated with control variable of financial leverage (LEV) and positively associated with control variable of firm size (SIZE). The findings reveal the role of supply chain finance and financial development in firm profitability which policymakers as well as managers at real estate firms can apply suitable methods in order to improve firms’ profits.
