Venture capital and corporate financialization: Evidence from China
The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance(2024)
Abstract
We examine whether and how venture capital investors (VCs) affect corporate financialization in post-IPO stages using China's A-share non-financial listed firms from 2007 to 2019. We find that the presence of VCs reduces the level of corporate financialization. The negative relationship is more pronounced in VCs with private ownership and portfolio firms with poor corporate governance. Further evidence shows that the negative effect of VCs on corporate financialization is driven by VCs through stronger corporate governance engagement, indicating a monitoring channel. We also find that VCs exhibit a high level of failure tolerance and innovation promotion by decreasing the sensitivity of CEO turnover to compensation performance, and promoting R&D investment in firms with a stronger arbitrage incentive, suggesting another innovation channel.
