TY - JOUR TT - Government Ownership and Firm Performance: the Case of Vietnam AU - Tran, Ngo My AU - Nonneman, Walter AU - Jorissen, Ann PY - 2014 DA - September JF - International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues JO - IJEFI PB - İlhan ÖZTÜRK WT - DergiPark SN - 2146-4138 SP - 628 EP - 650 VL - 4 IS - 3 KW - government ownership KW - firm performance KW - dynamic model and interaction effect N2 - This study extends some predictions from a game theoretical model which evaluates the net effect of government ownership on firm performance and empirically tests these predictions using a panel data of Vietnamese firms in the period 2004-2012. The empirical results estimated from static and dynamic models confirm our propositions of a negative effect of state ownership on firm profitability and labor productivity. Furthermore, this study documents a moderating role of firm size in the relationship between state shareholding and the performance of firms with higher state ownership in larger firms enhancing profitability and labor productivity.
