Debt maturity structure in Vietnamese firms using quantile regression and Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition technique

Our research aims at investigating by what means do firms decide debt maturity (DM) structure in Vietnamese context involving certain levels of financial constraints. It is found that, with stronger financial profiles, unconstrained firms are more likely to endure the effects of liquidity risk and information asymmetry, whereas those constrained seem to be subjected to various consequences resulting from these frictions.
