The negative association of TANG to SLEV is consistent with prior Vietnamese
studies (Nguyen and Ramachandran, 2006; Biger et al., 2008). One interpretation of
this relationship is that firms with few tangible assets tend to rely more on short-term
liabilities such as trade credit (See earlier discussion in Section 3.2. related to trade credit and our definition of SLEV). Conversely, the positive association between
TANG and LLEV reflects high information asymmetry and agency costs (Leung,
2009, MUTRAP, 2011) that make Vietnamese banks reliant on collateral as the
primary credit risk tool. This evidence is in line with Hypothesis 2and is consistent
with international findings (See Chen, 2004; Frank and Goyal, 2009).
