Abstrakt: This study examines the effects of ownership structure on firm performance of manufacturing companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange using the system- GMM estimator. The empirical results show a cubic relationship between managerial ownership and Tobin's Q, that is, positive, negative and positive, meanwhile block ownership has no impact on firm performance. This implies that internal managerial incentives play a more important role than shareholders' external monitoring in improving corporate governance quality. We also found an inverted U-shaped relationship between state ownership and Tobin's Q, indicating that partial privatisation possibly is an efficient way to improve firm performance.
