II Theoretical Basis of the Topic and Research Direction
2.1 Research Theories
2.1.1 Asymmetric Information Theory
Developed by George Akerlof, Michael Spence, andJoseph Stiglitz (Nobel Prize in Economics 2001), thistheory emphasizes the information disparity betweenparties in transactions In buying and selling NOTM, theseller (investor) often has more information than the buyer(customer) If information is incomplete or concealed, thebuyer faces financial risks or fraud The Real EstateBusiness Law 2023 requires investors to providetransparent, accurate information and imposes sanctionsfor violations, while also stipulating professional ethicsfor brokers to protect buyers
Trang 132.1.2 Consumer Protection Theory
Originating from Europe and applied in Vietnam throughthe Consumer Protection Law 2010, this theoryemphasizes the seller’s obligation to ensure quality andtimely delivery as per the contract In buying and sellingNOTM, investors must deliver houses as committed, notviolating customer rights for profit In reality, manydeceptive acts or misinformation occur, requiring the law
to strengthen buyer protection and strictly handleviolations
2.1.3 Rule of Law Theory
Stemming from philosophers like Montesquieu, thistheory affirms that all subjects (including the state) mustcomply with the law In buying and selling NOTM, partiesmust exercise rights and obligations according to the laws
on real estate business, housing, and contracts The lawensures equality, impartiality, and strictly handlesviolations, maintaining transaction order
2.1.4 Freedom of Business Theory
Recognized in the 2013 Constitution and laws like theReal Estate Business Law 2023, this theory affirms theright to freedom of business for individuals andorganizations in industries not prohibited by law Inbuying and selling NOTM, parties are free to agree oncontracts but must comply with regulations on businessconditions, rights, obligations, and violation handling,ensuring a healthy business environment
2.2 Research Hypotheses Real estate business investors
face difficulties from current legal regulations on buyingand selling NOTM Buying and selling NOTM hasunique characteristics, requiring the law to protect therights of all parties and promote a transparent business
Trang 14economic) affect the effectiveness of law enforcement.Improving the law must comply with market rules andinternational integration
2.3 Research Questions How does buying and selling
NOTM differ from other real estate transactions? How dothe characteristics of buying and selling NOTM affectregulatory laws? What aspects of current laws are suitable
or inadequate? What are the market and internationalintegration requirements for the law on buying and sellingNOTM? How do Da Nang’s conditions impact lawimprovement? What are the directions and solutions toimprove the law in the context of a socialist-orientedmarket economy?
2.4 Approach and Research Methods
Approach: Analyze institutions, mechanisms, and
practices of buying and selling NOTM in Da Nang,comparing with other localities to identify violations andcauses
Research Methods:
Methodological Basis: Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi
Minh’s ideology, and the Party’s viewpoints on marketeconomy and integration
Inherited Theories: Asymmetric information, freedom
of business, consumer protection, and rule of law
General Conclusion
The law on buying and selling NOTM is an importantinstitution within the Real Estate Business Law, but in-depth research from the perspective of commercial lawand Da Nang’s practice remains limited Previous worksprovide theoretical and legal evaluation bases, but manycontents are outdated due to the 2023 Real Estate BusinessLaw The thesis must study the theory and practice in Da
Trang 15Nang to propose solutions to improve the law and enhanceits effectiveness in the new legal context.
