摘要
The paper examined the impact of Earnings Management (EM) in Vietnam, the impact of the debt structure, including short-term and long-term debt on EM, and how debt structure relationships affect EM in the presence and absence of financial constraints. The study adopted OLS regression, Quantile Regression, and Regression decomposition. Researching data were obtained from listed companies on the stock market in Vietnam from 2008 to 2019, with 5263 observations. The findings have found that short-term and long-term debt positively impacted EM, while long-term debt was inversely proportional to EM. Besides, there is no heterogeneity among quantile levels. In addition, it showed that debt only had an impact on EM when the firm had no financial constraints.
