The Relationship

In this chapter, the authors explore the relationship between firm growth, access to finance, and the efficiency of capital allocation in Vietnam over 2005–15. They test whether firms with higher marginal returns to capital are more or less likely to get access to financing. This is a key test of how efficiently the financial system is functioning. The authors also test whether credit supply constraints are hindering capital allocation by limiting the investment and employment activities of firms with the highest marginal return on capital. They find that high return investors, with the greatest marginal return on capital, have a lower likelihood of having formal finance (loans outstanding with formal credit institutions). The study finds evidence that rejected credit applications are limiting investment activity but not employment, particularly for firms with higher investment efficiency. This suggests a link between firm growth and a suboptimal allocation of credit.

The Relationship

<p><em>From the perspective of market microstructure, this paper investigates the relationship between stock liquidity, firm investment and capital allocation efficiency. This paper finds that firm investment is positively related to stock liquidity. Moreover, financial constraint, firm growth and risk affect the relationship between firm investment and stock liquidity. In addition, stock liquidity can help firm better utilize investment opportunities, indicated by higher investment and Tobin’ Q sensitivities. We also show that firms with good liquidity can lower the investment and Tobin’s Q sensitivities when there are no good investment opportunities. The findings of this paper indicate that stock liquidity have positive effect on firm investment. Therefore, </em><em>to strengthen the effectiveness of stock liquidity, the Chinese government should continue to reform ownership structure and corporate governance, strengthen information disclosure and stepped up its crackdown against inside trading.</em></p>

The Impact

AbstractChina’s commercial banks have developed at a very rapid speed in recent decades. However, with global economic development slowing down, the impact of gross domestic product growth as an exogenous factor cannot be ignored. Most existing studies only consider the internal factors of banks, and neglect their external economic factors. This study thus adopts an undesirable dynamic slacks-based measure under an exogenous model in combination with the Kernel density curve to explore the efficiency of state-owned commercial banks (SOCBs), joint-stock commercial banks (JSCBs), and urban commercial banks (UCBs) in China from 2012 to 2018. The results show that SOCBs have the highest overall efficiency, followed by JSCBs, then UCBs. The efficiencies of SOCBs, JSCBs, and UCBs in the financing stage are greater than those in the investment stage, indicating that the latter stage brings down overall efficiency. Thus, all commercial banks need to focus on the efficiency of non-performing loans and return on capital. Finally, SOCBs need to strengthen internal controls, reduce non-performing loans and improve return on capital. JSCBs should actively expand its business while controlling costs, and UCBs should optimize its management.

The Relationship

This paper aims to examine the relationship between Ownership Structure Mechanisms (Managerial Ownership, Institutional Ownership, Block holder Ownership and Outside Director Ownership) and Investment Efficiency by using panel data analysis. To investigate this relationship used the multiple regression models. Findings of investigation of 35 firms listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange in the period 2006 to 2015 by balanced Panel model representative. Results indicated that Managerial Ownership isn’t related with investment efficiency. In contract, institutional ownership, block holder ownership and outside director ownership have a negative relationship with investment efficiency. In addition, the researcher found that control variables (Firm size, Debt ratio, Tobin’s Q) not related to investment efficiency. These findings imply that the Majority of Egyptians firms relies on institutional without individual ownership and then reduces much of possible from agency problems and decreasing information asymmetry and facilitating the monitoring of investment decisions.

The Relationship

In order for a firm to remain sustainable, it must establish a strategy that is appropriate to its changing environment. One of these strategies is that the procurement of capital and the efficient operation of the procured capital are directly linked to the sustainability of the firm. This study empirically analyzes the relationship between seasoned equity offerings (hereafter SEO) and investment efficiency. We examine the investment efficiency of firms that have SEO and those that do not, and then analyze the effect of analysts on the relationship between SEO and investment efficiency. The empirical results of this study are as follows. First, there is a significant negative correlation between SEO and investment efficiency, meaning that firms with SEO have lower investment efficiency than firms without SEO. Second, the interaction variable between SEO and analyst participation showed a significant positive correlation with investment efficiency, meaning that the more active the analyst, the more any ineffective investment that is derived from managers’ opportunistic earnings management is suppressed. The results show that the efficient operation of procured capital is important for the sustainability of the firm, and that the analyst plays an important role in monitoring the efficient allocation of resources as an external auditor.

The Relationship

This paper takes the listed companies in China from 2008 to 2017 as the research sample to study the relationship between accounting information quality (AIQ) and company innovation investment efficiency. The results show that AIQ is negatively correlated with both the underinvestment and overinvestment of corporate innovation. Further, AIQ can alleviate financing constraints and reduce the lack of innovation investment; At the same time, AIQ can also alleviate the agency conflict and reduce the excessive investment in innovation. Finally, AIQ can promote the innovation investment efficiency of companies with low information environment.
