摘要
PurposeThis study aims to investigate the institutional, macroeconomic and firm-specific determinants of financial leverage in Vietnam and provides new evidence from the dynamic panel fractional estimator.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a panel dataset of 859 Vietnamese firms from 2008 to 2022 and employs three estimators: Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS), System Generalized Method of Moments (SysGMM) and Dynamic Panel Fractional (DPF), with DPF being particularly suitable for handling fractional dependent variables and the dynamic nature of financial leverage.FindingsThe results confirm the dynamic nature of the financial leverage model, with firm-specific factors, institutional factors and macroeconomic factors playing significant roles in shaping firms' financing decisions. The DPF estimator highlights the positive impact of stock market development on leverage. This study contributes to the literature by providing new evidence on the determinants of leverage in Vietnam, using the DPF estimator for more accurate estimation and revealing the significant impact of the size of the banking sector, the size of the stock market, the stock market development index, the financial development index and the corruption perception index on leverage.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by providing new evidence on the dynamic nature of the financial leverage model and the impact of institutional, macroeconomic and firm-specific factors on financial leverage in the context of Vietnam. The use of the DPF estimator allows for a more accurate and reliable estimation of the determinants of leverage, considering the fractional nature of the dependent variable and the persistence of capital structure decisions over time.
