Abstract

Using accounting data of listed firms on the Vietnamese stock market this study documents that listed Vietnamese firms still face finance constraints, even after the introduction and rapid growth of the equity markets and the privatization wave that started since 1992. Contrary to most of the existing literature, especially large state-dominated firms were documented to be significantly more financially constrained.The cash flow sensitivity differences between the statedominated and private firms are economically large but statistically not significant.These findings are still consistent for both stock exchanges of Vietnam (HOSE and HNX).
