论文题目:Corporate discredit with Chinese characteristics: Evidence from postings by the Supreme Court of China (With Pengfei Li and Yiping Wu)

论文摘要: The postings of discredit by the government can affect corporate behaviors. We examine the postings of discredit by the Supreme Court of China on the financing, investment, and corporate valuation of Chinese listed firms. We find that postings of discredit are negatively associated with the growth rate of bank loans. This effect is more pronounced for small and private firms, in particular for those private firms without political connection. In addition, this effect is more pronounced firms in regions with better legal environment and lower costs of contract enforcement. We also find a negative impact of corporate discredit on alternative financing, investment, sales and R&D. Market reactions to the discredit postings substantiate our earlier findings on the corporate behaviors. Our results are robust to the propensity score matching method, parallel trend test, placebo test, and the sample coverage concerns. This paper provides supporting evidence for the role of government media in disciplining corporate discredit behavior in a context of poorly developed financial and legal system as China.
