Abstract
This paper reviews the state-owned enterprises equitization process in Vietnam, focusing on the period 2001- 2015. Using a novel dataset from GSO, through Tobin’s Q model, this study has shown that equitization has a positive impact on the efficiency of former SOEs who have been privatised and equitized with a minority state shareholding. This research also shows that accelerating the equitization of state-owned enterprises in 2012- 2015 does not result in SOEs less efficiently than firms that State has controlling shareholder.
