Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of intellectual capital on the performance of 30 Vietnamese commercial banks from 2007 to 2019, using the system generalized method of moments (GMM). The find shows the positive impacts of that intellectual capital (VAIC)on the performance of commercial banking in VietNam. However, the results also emphasize that the relationship between VAIC and the bank’s performance is a nonlinear (U-shaped) relationship. In addition, when observing the components of VAIC, it can be seen that capital efficiency (CEE), efficiency in using human resources (HCE) and capital structure (SCE) have a positive effect on efficiency. financial performance of banks. In particular, the influence of CEE is significant in the financial performance of banks. Therefore, Vietnamese banks need to improve the efficiency of their capital in order to achieve higher returns
