Abstract

The market for corporate control in Vietnam is characterized by the absence of major antitakeover provisions typically available in developed markets. The disciplinary threat of losing corporate control and additional monitoring mechanisms in the Vietnamese institutional setting reduce managerial entrenchment and other agency costs of CEO duality. This paper provides evidence in support of stewardship theory that CEO duality positively impacts M&A results in Vietnam. Specifically, CEO duality firms have significantly higher announcement abnormal returns and growth performance than those with separate CEO/Chairman roles. Robustness checks include two stage least square regressions and propensity score matching techniques.
