During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Vietnamese government has actively implemented various policies to achieve dual objectives: (i) to minimize the loss of life due to the infection; and (ii) to support economic growth. This paper is conducted to examine the effect of the government's containment and closure policy on the stock market quality in Vietnam. Unlike other papers, we focus exclusively on market quality during the pandemic. We find that the policies appear to positively affect the market quality, except for closing-school policy (negative effect) and international travel (no effect). We argue that the government should sustain the policies until the wide availability of the vaccine to support the stock market quality in the near future.
在新冠疫情期间，越南政府积极实施了各种政策，以实现两个目标：（i）将感染导致的生命损失最小化；（ii）支持经济增长。本文旨在考察政府的遏制和封锁政策对越南股票市场质量的影响。与其他论文不同，我们专门关注疫情期间的市场质量。我们发现，这些政策似乎对市场质量产生了积极影响，但关闭学校政策除外（产生负面影响）和国际旅行政策（无影响）。我们认为，政府应该在广泛提供疫苗之前维持这些政策，以支持股票市场的质量。
