Abstract: This paper investigates effects of financial crisis on capital structure of listed firms in Vietnam. Regression models on the relation between the leverage and firm size, growth, profitability, tangibility, together with crisis dummies is built based on a sample of 265 firms listed on HNX and HOSE for the period of 2006-2013. The empirical result indicates that firm size, profitability, and tangibility have statistically significant impacts on capital structure. The growth is not statistically significant in explaining the variance of the leverage. The study result also reveals that capital structure of Vietnamese listed firms has not changed significantly under the financial crisis.
