Abstract: In the current paper, we investigate the “missing middle” phenomenon of firm size distribution in Viet Nam. Results imply existence of both the “missing middle” as well as the increasing return to scale in aggregate production function of most industries in Vietnam. Such co-existence suggests that there are forces other than those traditionally mentioned in economic literature (Tybout, 2000) affecting the firm size. However, there are heterogeneities in the return to scale within industries that the middle-size firms have the lowest return to scale, compared with those of their small or large size counterparts. This result implies when Viet Nam’s firms develop intomiddle-sizeones they face significant challenges, not only in term of further developing into bigger sizes but also in term of remaining size efficiency comparing with small ones.
