capital structures across firms In specific, this thesis investigates capital structure determinants of firms listed on Hochiminh Stock Exchange based on a panel data set from 2006 to 2010 comprising 77 companies Main characteristic of Vietnamese firms, including firms listed on Hochiminh Stock Exchange, is short-term debt comprises a considerable part of firms’ total debt An analysis of determinants of leverage based on total debt ratios may hide significant differences in the determinants of long and short-term forms of debt Therefore, this thesis studies determinants of total debt ratios as well as determinants of short-term and long-term debt ratios The thesis consider the impact of those ratios on capital structure during period 2006-2010 to consider whether there was any different from before, in and after the financial crisis The thesis also tests the different choice of capital structure of eleven groups of industries And the last answer should be find out is the difference of capital structure of firms with different size Keywords: Capital structure, Vietnam, HOSE ii CONTENTS Acknowledgement i Abstract ii Contents iii List of Tables vi Abbreviations vii

Capital Structure CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction One of the tough challenges that firms face is the choice of capital structure Capital structure decision is important because it affects the financial performance of the firm The capital structure of a firm is defined by Abor J (2005, p.438-45) as specific mix of debt and equity that a firm uses to finance its operations The modern theory of capital structure was firstly established by Modigliani and Miller (1958) Thirty-seven years later, Rajan and Zingales (1995, p 1421) stated: “Theory has clearly made some progress on the subject We now understand the most important departures from the Modigliani and Miller assumptions that make capital structure relevant to a firm’s value However, very little is known about the empirical relevance of the different theories” Similarly, Harris and Raviv (1991, p 299) in their survey of capital structure theories claimed: “The models surveyed have identified a large number of potential determinants of capital structure The empirical work so far has not, however, sorted out which of these are important in various contexts.” Thus, several conditional theories of capital structure exist (none is universal), but very little is known about their empirical relevance Moreover, the existing empirical evidence is based mainly on data from developed countries (G7 countries) Findings based on data from developing countries have not appeared until recently – for example Booth et al (2001) or Huang and Song (2002) So far, no study has been published based on data from Vietnam (especially the Hochiminh Stock Exchange (HOSE)), at least to the extent of this author’s knowledge The main goal of this thesis is to fill this gap, exploring the case of the listed firms in HOSE The remainder of this chapter provides general introduction about the research objectives, research methodology and the structure of the research Determinants of Capital Structure Ticker Company Industry
