  abstract = {{E}thnic inequality remains a persistent challenge for {V}iet {N}am. {T}his paper aims at better understanding this ethnic gap through exploring the formation of risk sharing networks in rural areas. {I}t first investigates the differences in risk sharing networks between the ethnic minorities and the {K}inh majority, in terms of size and similarity attributes of the networks. {S}econd, it relies on the concept of ethnic homophily in link formation to explain the mechanisms leading to those differences. {I}n particular, it disentangles the effect of demographic and local distribution of ethnic groups on risk-sharing network formation from cultural and social distance between ethnic groups, while controlling for the disparities in the geographical environment. {R}esults show that ethnic minorities have smaller and less diversified networks than the majority. {T}his is partly explained by differences in wealth and in the geographical environment. {B}ut ethnicity also plays a direct role in risk-sharing network formation through the combination of preferences to form a link with people from the same ethnic group (inbreeding homophily) and the relative size of ethnic groups conditioning the opportunities to form a link (baseline homophily). {I}nbreeding homophily is found to be stronger among the {K}inh majority, leading to the exclusion of ethnic minorities from {K}inh networks, which are supposed to be more efficient to cope with covariant risk because they are more diversified in the occupation and location of their members. {T}his evidence suggests that inequalities among ethnic groups in {V}iet {N}am are partly rooted in the cultural and social distances between them.},
