管理者过度自信对现金持有量的影响——来自我国上市公司的经验证据

本文选取2006—2010年沪深两市的公司为样本,实证分析了高管人员过度自信与现金持有决策的关系。结果发现,管理者的自信程度与现金持有显著正相关,证明管理者的过度自信是影响企业现金持有行为的一个重要因素,丰富和拓展了企业现金持有影响因素的研究。     

高管学术经历对企业现金股利政策影响研究

本文以2008-2020年沪深A股上市公司为研究对象，实证分析高管学术经历对于企业现金股利分配政策的影响。研究表明，拥有学术型高管的企业更倾向于支付现金股利。同时学术型高管通过影响企业会计信息质量和社会责任来影响企业现金股利发放倾向；内部环境较差的企业，高管的学术经历对企业现金股利支付的促进作用更显著，而外部监管环境的差异对两者关系影响不显著。     

上市公司股权结构与现金持有水平关系的实证分析

从公司治理视角出发,以中国上市公司为样本,对股权结构与企业现金持有决策关系进行了理论与实证分析.结果表明,经理人员持股比例、流通A股比例与企业现金持有水平显著正相关;法人股比例、股权集中度与企业现金持有水平显著负相关;第一大股东持股比例与企业现金持有水平正相关,但不显著;国有股比例与企业现金持有水平负相关,但极不显著.     

我国民营上市公司董事会特征与现金持有水平关系的实证研究

董事会作为公司治理的核心,是影响企业现金持有水平的重要因素之一。文章以2008-2011年间民营上市公司为研究对象,对董事会特征与现金持有水平之间的关系进行了实证研究。结果发现:董事会规模、独立董事比例与现金持有水平存在不显著显著的负相关关系;董事会会议频次与现金持有水平存在显著负相关关系;两职合一、董事长持股比例、董事薪酬与现金持有水平存在不显著正相关关系。     

利率市场化与公司现金持有

利率市场化作为我国一项重要的金融改革对微观企业的现金持有决策产生了重要的影响。本文以2007～2017年我国非金融类上市公司为研究样本,考察了利率市场化对公司现金持有的影响,研究发现:利率市场化与公司现金持有水平呈正相关关系;利率市场化没有通过融资约束路径影响公司现金持有,而是经由公司治理效应路径在抑制超额持现的过度投资、增加公司现金持有水平的同时,增加了企业的研发投入;利率市场化对公司现金持有的影响在非国有企业、成长性高的企业和违约风险高的企业中更加明显,并且利率市场化下的现金持有行为对企业价值的提升作用主要存在于现金持有水平较低的样本。     

信息不对称、公司治理与现金持有价值——基于知情交易概率的非平稳面板数据

本文为了研究中国上市公司信息不对称、公司治理和现金持有价值之间的关系,以沪深上市公司2004-2009年数据为基础,利用知情交易概率作为管理者和投资者之间的信息不对称代理变量,以高管持股比例作为公司治理代理变量,利用公司各种财务指标作为控制变量,发现信息不对称与中国上市公司现金持有价值呈显著负相关,高管持股比例和现金持有价值显著正相关,支持自由现金流理论和委托代理理论,信息不对称程度越高,管理者越可能滥用现金,导致现金持有价值下降,而提高公司治理,加强投资者保护可以提高现金持有价值。     

产权性质、股权结构与现金持有量

现金作为企业流动性最强的资产,其持有量的大小直接影响着企业资产流动性的强弱以及盈利能力的大小.本文选取我国A股上市公司为样本,研究企业的产权性质、管理层持股比例以及流通A股比例对企业现金持有量的影响.研究表明,相对于国有企业,非国有企业现金持有水平较高;管理层持股比例与企业现金持有量正相关;流通A股比例与企业现金持有量负相关.     

现金持有偏离对企业业绩的影响——基于中国制造业上市公司的实证分析

将企业实际持有的现金水平与正常水平的差额定义为现金持有偏离度,通过理论分析及实证回归构建样本企业正常现金持有水平的计算模型,并通过实证方法分析现金持有偏离对企业业绩的影响。研究结果表明,现金持有正向偏离和负向偏离都会对企业业绩产生负面影响,且现金持有发生负向偏离时对企业业绩产生的负面影响更大。     

商业银行竞争与企业现金持有水平——来自中国制造业企业的经验证据

文章以2010-2019年中国制造业企业和商业银行为研究对象构建银行竞争度衡量指标,发现商业银行竞争的加剧能够显著降低制造业企业的现金持有水平。作用机制检验发现,代理冲突在商业银行竞争对企业现金持有水平的影响中发挥了部分中介作用。异质性检验结果表明,对民营企业、中小企业和所在地区经济发展水平高的企业来说,商业银行竞争对企业现金持有水平的影响更为显著。文章对商业银行竞争与企业现金持有水平关系的分析丰富了商业银行竞争的影响研究和企业现金持有水平的影响因素研究,为改善民营企业和中小企业融资难等问题提供了经验证据。     

产融结合战略与企业现金持有水平——基于企业持股非上市金融机构的经验证据

本文基于中国A股上市公司2007-2018年数据,从融资约束和代理冲突两条路径考察产融结合对现金持有水平的影响及作用路径.研究发现:进行产融结合的公司现金持有水平更低;产融结合对现金持有水平的负向作用在民营企业中和经济政策不确定性更大的环境中更加显著;利用现金—现金流敏感性模型检验,发现产融结合降低企业现金—现金流敏感性,这些都验证产融结合主要通过融资约束路径影响企业现金持有行为.     

CEO organizational identification and firm cash holdings

As the decision-makers and implementers of a firm’s financial strategy, executives play a critical role in cash holding activities, and their psychological characteristics have a major impact on cash holdings. This paper investigates the association between CEO organizational identification and firm cash holdings. The empirical results show that CEO organizational identification is negatively associated with firm cash holdings, and the negative association is more pronounced when the level of financial development is higher and economic uncertainty is lower. Further analysis reveals that the higher a CEO’s organizational identification, the higher the firm’s R&D investment and capital expenditure, and high CEO organizational identification can increase the value of firm cash holdings. Overall, our findings supplement the literature on organizational identification and cash holdings, and on the effect of executives’ psychological characteristics on corporate financial decision-making.     

数字经济对企业现金持有水平影响研究 ——基于"宽带中国战略"的准自然实验

全面推进以“宽带中国战略”为主的数字化经济建设是带动企业数字化转型，优化企业资源配置，进而促进企业长期稳定发展的重要步骤。以“宽带中国战略”为准自然实验，基于2008-2020年中国上市公司数据，采用DID（双重差分）模型考察数字经济对企业现金持有水平的影响。研究表明：数字经济显著抑制企业现金持有水平，有效促进经济流通；中介效应模型检验发现，积累人力资本和缓解融资约束是数字经济降低企业现金持有水平的重要机制；异质性检验发现，数字经济对东部地区企业和中小企业现金持有水平的抑制作用更显著。基于以上研究，充分识别了当前我国数字经济对于企业现金持有水平的抑制作用，同时有助于推进“宽带中国战略”的进一步落地实施。     

Grabbing hand or financial constraint mitigation effect? A reexamination of the relationship between institutional development and cash holdings

This study reexamines the impact of institutional development on corporate cash holdings. Our findings confirm that institutional development has a negative effect on corporate cash holdings, which may be partially explained by the financial constraint mitigation effect of institutional development. Our empirical evidence also shows that the corruption index, used as a proxy for the grabbing hand effect, does not mediate the negative effect of institutional development on corporate cash holdings. Furthermore, the impact of institutional development on corporate cash holdings is not significant for large firms and state-owned enterprises. These results are robust to different measures of cash holdings.     

How do firms learn? Evidence from corporate cash holdings during the COVID-19 pandemic

We examine the impact of COVID-19 on US corporate cash holdings. Our findings suggest that greater pandemic exposure is associated with higher corporate cash holdings and that firms learn from prior experiences as they manage their cash policies. More specifically, the level of cash holdings in firms that experienced severe financial constraints during the 2008 credit crisis and firms with prior severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and H1N1 exposure is significantly lower than that of firms with no prior epidemic or financial constraints experience. Overall, our findings support the learning behaviour of cash and contribute to corporate cash holdings literature by providing insights on the extent to which firms learn from prior experiences to manage their liquidity.     

CEO cultural background and corporate cash holdings

This paper examines whether the cultural background of chief executive officers (CEOs) affects corporate cash holdings. Using UK data from 2000 to 2018, we find that CEOs with a cultural background that emphasises power distance and uncertainty avoidance are positively associated with corporate cash holdings, while CEOs with a cultural background that emphasises masculinity are negatively associated with corporate cash holdings. Our results are robust to various robustness tests. Further analyses show that the impact is more pronounced when power is concentrated among top executives, when the CEOs have a degree of discretion in pursuing their own goals, and when information asymmetry is high.     

高管海外经历与企业全要素生产率

依据2007-2016年沪深A股上市公司数据,考察高管海外经历对企业全要素生产率的影响。结果发现：高管海外经历正向影响企业全要素生产率。从内部制度环境角度来看,企业内部控制质量越高、薪酬制度越完善,高管海外经历对企业全要素生产率的影响越显著;从外部制度环境角度来看,高管海外经历对企业全要素生产率的影响在政府监管较好、存在机构投资者持股以及市场化程度较高地区的企业中更显著。     

Corporate cash holdings: Causes and consequences

The considerable growth in corporate cash holdings around the world has prompted scholarly interest. Consequently, there is now a large academic literature examining cash holdings and their impact on corporate outcomes and firm values. This article reviews and synthesizes the literature to offer insight into two primary motives to hold cash: precautionary and agency. We first present a stylized model that explores the trade-off in holding cash between these two motives and then examine empirical studies to determine how existing theories are supported by evidence using data from a variety of countries. In addition, we examine the effectiveness of a variety of corporate governance devices in curtailing cash holdings and also the extent to which these devices offer investors' confidence that cash will not be wasted. Finally, we discuss methodological and measurement issues associated with empirical cash holdings studies.     

The effect of market competition on corporate cash holdings: An analysis of corporate innovation and financial constraint

This study investigates the impact of market competition on corporate cash holdings. Specifically, we focus on the corporate innovation and financial constraint channels. Based on a sample of the Chinese stock market from 1998 to 2019, our empirical results show that cash holdings are negatively impacted by market competition, corporate innovation partially mediates this effect, and financial constraint exhibits full mediation. Moreover, the mediating effect of corporate innovation is moderated by financial constraints. Furthermore, the impact of market competition reveals an increasing trend as cash holdings increase with quantile regression. In addition, this impact is mitigated for state-owned enterprises, and firms with larger total assets are impacted to a lesser degree.     

超额现金持有水平与产品市场竞争优势——来自中国上市公司的经验证据

有关企业持现动机及其经济后果的已有研究较少关注现金持有的战略效应。本文借鉴公司战略经济学理论,探索性地研究了企业超额持现对产品市场竞争优势的影响,为企业财务决策与产品市场竞争之间的紧密联系提供了新的经验证据。我们研究发现,企业超额持现具有战略效应,且超额持现水平与产品市场竞争优势呈倒U型关系。进一步的研究显示,与民营企业相比,国有企业在相对较低的超额持现水平上出现对产品市场竞争优势影响的负向净效应。     

Economic policy uncertainty and corporate inventory holdings: evidence from China

We investigate the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on corporate inventory holdings in China over the period 2007–2017. We find that EPU leads firms to significantly reduce inventory holdings and this effect is particularly pronounced among non-state-owned enterprises. The adjustment of inventory holdings enhances firms’ operating and market performance consequently. In addition, firms with greater financial constraints or stronger external governance are more affected by EPU. Further exploration shows that EPU induces high precautionary cash holdings, which crowds out inventories. Our results illustrate that firms reallocate between inventories and cash to cope with uncertainty associated with economic policy changes.
