A Categorical Data Analysis on Financial Failures in Vietnam, 2007-2013

Entrepreneurship development and creativity capacity building are necessary to improve socio-economic conditions and the environment. This work also introduces intuitive and cognitive factors to predict ex-ante outcome of a financing scheme
