Government Subsidy,Investment and Financing Constraints,and the Formation of Zombie Companies

Zombie companies have serious adverse effects on economic development.The relationship between government subsidies and zombie companies is a focus in China’s supply-side structural reform.In this paper,we classify companies into two categories:investment-constrained companies lacking investment opportunities,and fi nancing-constrained companies with limited sources of capital.Based on data of A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2016,this paper examines the relationship between government subsidies and the zombification of companies subject to different types of constraints.We find that more government subsidies have been allotted to investment-constrained companies than financing-constrained ones;government subsidy is one of the various factors that have contributed to company zombification,but the correlation is only significant for investment-constrained companies;financing subsidy dedicated to expanding corporate financing is more effective in helping investment-constrained companies than government subsidies in general,but neither government subsidies nor financing subsidies are effective in preventing investment-constrained companies from turning into zombies.In the robustness test that controls the endogeneity problem of reverse causality,replaces proxy variables,lags subsidy variables and discusses the zombification of loss-making enterprises,the results are still valid.This paper provides a heterogeneous perspective to study the connection between government subsidies and the formation of zombie companies,and in view of subsidy mismatch,puts forward recommendations regarding the use of government subsidies.

Financing constraints and corporate investment:an empirical analysis of china’s manufacturing firms

With the measurement of dividend payout ratio, logistic regression index value and the firm size financing constraints, this paper investigated the investment behavior of China’s manufacturing firms over the period from 1998 to 2003, and the relationship between financing constraints and corporate investment using the OLS regression method. The empirical evidence shows that there are certain extent financing constraints in China’s manufacturing firms, but the results are different with different variables to measure the financing constraints.

Determination of the Financing Scale,Time Limit and Returns from the Investment in BOT Projects

The key aspect to the successful implementation of BOT concept is the raising of finance by project sponsor,so financial engineering techniques and capital structuring skills are required to find the proper mix of debt and equity.The capital structure and present a model to determine the equity level from the aspects of financing scale,construction time and return on investment are analyzed.The resulting model can help the sponsor to avoid the capital risk,and offer the government a criterion to evaluate management ability of the sponsor.To show the application and availability of this model,a case study is conducted.Thus,this paper is concern with the determination of financing scale,construction time,and return on investment which would assist the sponsor to ensure that the equity level for optimal capital structure is available prior to the implementation stage in BOT project operation.

"Surplus income" of farmers has been increasing steadily with the marked improvement of rural economy. However,development of rural financing market in China is rather backward. To satisfy the financing requirement of farmers and meet the demand of the construction of new countryside as well as harmonious society,development of financing market in rural area is eager to be quickened.

Financial frictions and the cash flow – external financing sensitivity: evidence from a panel of Pakistani firms

This paper uses a large panel of Pakistani non-financial firms over the period 2000-2013 to examine the role of financial constraints in establishing the relationship between cash flow and external financing.The results reveal that there exists a negative and significant relationship between external financing and cash flow.The finding of the substitutionary relation between internal funds availability and external financing has been viewed as evidence supporting the pecking order theory of capital structure.Yet,we show that this negative relationship is weak in case of financially constrained firms.We also analyze how credit multiplier affects external financing decisions of financially constrained and unconstrained firms.The results show that for financially unconstrained firms,the negative sensitively of external financing increases with asset tangibility.However,for financially constrained firms,the negative sensitivity of external financing to cash flow either decreases or turns positive as the tangibility of assets increases.This finding implies that financially constrained firms benefit more from investing in tangible assets because such assets not only help relax financial constraints but also having a potential to be a direct source of funds in periods of negative cash flow shocks.
