This study examines the impact of corporate governance on capital structure decisions based on a large panel of Chinese listed firms. Using the system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator to control for unobserved heterogeneity, endogeneity, and persistency in capital structure decisions, we document that the ownership structure plays a significant role in determining leverage ratios. More specially, we find that managerial ownership has a positive and significant impact on firms' leverage, consistent with the incentive alignment hypothesis. We also find that managerial ownership only affects the leverage decisions of private firms in the post-2005 split share reform period. State ownership negatively influence leverage decisions implying that SOEs may face fewer restrictions in equity issuance and may receive favourable treatments when applying for seasoned equity ¿nancing, thus use less debt. Furthermore, our results show that while foreign ownership negatively influences leverage decisions, legal person shareholding positively influences firms' leverage decisions only for state controlled firms. We also find that the board structure variables (board size and the proportion of independent directors) do not influence firms' capital structure decisions. Our findings suggest that recent ownership reforms have been successful in terms of providing incentive to managers through managerial shareholdings to take risky financial choices.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between regional financial development and corporate investment efficiency as well as the relationship between firm-level characteristics and corporate investment efficiency. Using a large sample of A-listed companies in China from CSMAR database between 2003 and 2016, this paper explores corporate investment efficiency and its influencing factors in emerging market on the basis of heterogeneous stochastic frontier model. The results show that: (1) the average investment efficiency of Chinese listed companies is 74.5%, and the investment efficiency of large enterprises, state-owned enterprises and enterprises with relatively high financial development level is significantly higher; (2) compared with average corporate investment efficiency in the year 2003, the investment efficiency of different types of enterprises in 2016 is significantly higher, and the gap is gradually widening; (3) enterprise heterogeneity namely firm size, nature of property right, and institutional environment reflected by the level of regional financial development indirectly affects corporate investment efficiency by influencing the financing constraints and uncertainty. The findings suggest that to improve corporate investment efficiency in emerging market, financial market should be accelerated, regional balance should be restored and the differences among regions, industries and differences between public and private sectors should be eliminated.

Total debt in the People's Republic of China surged to nearly 290% as a ratio to GDP by the second quarter of 2016, mostly on account of non-financial corporate debt. The outpouring of credit to stem the impact of the global financial crisis accentuated industrial overcapacity in traditional sectors, such as steel, cement, and energy, while feeding asset bubbles in the property, equity and bond markets. At the Chinese corporate level, this has translated into weakened fundamentals and a fall in industrial profits, particularly of SOEs. As debtors struggle to service interest payments, non-performing loans (NPLs) have been on the rise. This paper assesses the financial fragility of the Chinese economy by looking at risk factors in the non-financial sector. We apply quantile regressions to a dataset containing all Chinese listed companies in Standard & Poor's IQ Capital database. We find higher sensitivity over time of corporate leverage to some of its key determinants, particularly for firms at the upper margin of the distribution. In particular, profitability increasingly acts as a curb on corporate leverage. At a time of falling profitability across the Chinese non-financial corporate sector, this eases the brake on leverage and may contribute to its continuing increase.

Based on the concept of advertising expenditure, manufacturing firm performance, and enterprise life cycle, this research conducts the listed Chinese manufacturing listed in 2016-2018 as the research sampling and divides these listed companies into three periods: growth, maturity, and decline. Next, this paper conducts empirical research from three aspects: advertising expenditure or investment and manufacturing firm performance, lag effect of advertising expenditure, and outcome effect and lag effect of advertising investment. It is found that in different stages of manufacturing enterprises, different advertising expenditures will have different impacts on the performance of manufacturing enterprises. In the growth stage, the advertising investment of manufacturing enterprises will significantly affect the performance results of the current period, and there will be the long-term lag effect. In contrast, the mature stage of enterprises' advertising investment has a shorter period of lag effect, while in the recession stage, the mature stage of manufacturing enterprises' advertising investment will have a shorter period of lag effect. The empirical results are not significant. This study provides a reference for manufacturing enterprises in different stages in the decision-making of advertising investment.

Financial fraud undermines the sustainable development of financial markets. Financial statements can be regarded as the key source of information to obtain the operating conditions of listed companies. Current research focuses more on mining financial digital data instead of looking into text data. However, text data can reveal emotional information, which is an important basis for detecting financial fraud. The audit opinion of the financial statement is especially the fair opinion of a certified public accountant on the quality of enterprise financial reports. Therefore, this research was carried out by using the data features of 4,153 listed companies' financial annual reports and audits of text opinions in the past six years, and the paper puts forward a financial fraud detection model integrating audit opinions. First, the financial data index database and audit opinion text database were built. Second, digitized audit opinions with deep learning Bert model was employed. Finally, both the extracted audit numerical characteristics and the financial numerical indicators were used as the training data of the LightGBM model. What is worth paying attention to is that the imbalanced distribution of sample labels is also one of the focuses of financial fraud research. To solve this problem, data enhancement and Focal Loss feature learning functions were used in data processing and model training respectively. The experimental results show that compared with the conventional financial fraud detection model, the performance of the proposed model is improved greatly, with Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Accuracy reaching 81.42% and 78.15%, respectively.

Purpose - This study examines the impact of company ownership nature and of the dual role of CEO and board chair on R & D investment intensity, as well as the moderating effect of this dual role. Most previous research focused on the impact of the dual role of CEO and board chair on firm performance. Design/methodology/approach - This study uses A-share companies listed on the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges in China from 2008 to 2017. The univariate and the multivariate regression analysis were hired In order to analyze the data. Findings - The results show that there is a significant negative relationship between state-owned companies and R & D investment intensity. In addition, there is a significant positive relationship between the dual role and R & D investment intensity. The effect of state ownership on R & D investment intensity is more negative when CEO-board chair duality exists. This means that in case of state-owned companies, if CEO serves as the board chair, the propensity to invest in R&D is further reduced. Research implications or Originality - This is a pioneering study that considers the joint effect of state-owned companies and dual role on R & D investment intensity in the Chinese economy.

중국 기업의 사회적 책임에 대한 인식은 사회적 책임을 수행함으로써 비용이 증가하고 이로 인하여 이익도 감소한다는 부정적 인식이 강하지만 지속적으로 사회적 책임에 대한 관심과 수행이 늘고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 본 연구의 목적은 2011년 중국 상해 증권거래소에 A주식을 발행한 상장기업들 중 647개 기업을 대상으로 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 중국기업의 사회적 책임이 기업 가치에 미치는 영향을 파악하는데 있다. 종속변수로는 기업 가치의 대용치로 Tobin Q를 사용하였고, 독립변수로는 기업의 이해관계자인 주주, 종업원, 공급자, 채권자, 정부, 고객에 대한 사회적 책임 수행 정도를, 통제변수로는 기업규모, 베타를 사용하였다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 종업원 및 채권자 및 정부에 대한 사회적 책임은 기업 가치에 유의적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 고객에 대한 사회적 책임은 기업 가치에 유의적인 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 주주와 공급자에 대한 사회적 책임은 기업 가치에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구는 중국기업의 사회적 책임에 대한 인식 전환을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

선진국의 자본시장과 비교해 중국 자본시장의 주요한 문제점으로 주가급락 사태를 꼽을 수 있다. 따라서 주가급락 위험을 줄일 수 있는 요인에 관한 연구는 상당히 중요한 의미가 있다. 본 연구는 최대주주의 보유주식 비율에 초점을 두고, 지분율이 증가함에 따라 기업의 경영자를 감독할 유인이 더 높아지는 지와 이를 통해 경영자의 기회주의적 행동이 감소 되는지 검토해보고자 한다. 이를 위해 2009년부터 2019년까지의 중국 상장기업 자료를 수집하고, 실증분석을 통해 최대주주 지분율과 상장기업의 주가급락 위험 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 국유기업의 최대주주 지분율이 높을수록 기업의 주가급락 위험이 유의하게 낮아진 것으로 나타났다. 이는 국유기업의 최대주주는 정부 기관으로서 경영자에 대한 정부의 감독이 비국유기업의 최대주주보다 더 엄격하기 때문으로 보인다. 본 연구는 최대주주의 지분율이 높을수록 경영자의 기회주의 행위가 감소하며, 기업과 주주 간의 정보비대칭이 완화될 수 있음을 시사한다.
