Based on the principal-agent theory and the financial management theory, this study analyzes the impact of fund shareholding on corporate insufficient R&D input, and explores the action mechanism of fund shareholding on corporate innovation activities. The results show that fund shareholding is helpful to inhibit the insufficient R&D input. Moreover, this inhibiting effect is mainly reflected in the case of higher risk of financial failure. The further analyses show that the higher level of marketization strengthens the inhibiting effect of fund shareholding on insufficient R&D input. Finally, it is suggested that fund companies should be encouraged to hold shares of listed companies, and the proposal power of fund companies in the shareholders’ meeting should be appropriately enhanced. And it is suggested that the regulators continue to promote the development of securities investment funds, and guide fund shareholding to play an active role in external governance. Also, it is suggested that the regulators promote the process of regional marketization, to strengthen the positive effect of fund shareholding on innovation activities.

The stock price crash risk has become the focus of corporate finance and macroeconomics research in recent years because it affects the stock market, listed companies, market investors and the real economy. This paper takes 1822 gem listed companies from 2011 to 2017 as samples, and empirically tests the impact of social responsibility on the risk of stock price collapse and takes into account the regulatory effect of institutional environment. The study finds that social responsibility can inhibit the stock price collapse risk of listed companies on the growth enterprise market, and the institutional environment can also inhibit the risk of stock price collapse of listed companies on the growth enterprise market. Considering the influence of the institutional environment, the influence of social responsibility on the risk of stock price collapse of listed companies on the growth enterprise market is more obvious, which shows that the institutional environment has a moderating effect between social responsibility and the risk of stock price collapse. This conclusion still exists after considering the endogenous influence. Further research shows that the inhibiting effect of social responsibility and the regulating effect of institutional environment are more obvious among gem listed companies in the first year of listing.

From the perspective of social psychology, takes the large stock dividends policy of Chinese listed companies as an example, based on the sample of Chinese listed companies from 2009 to 2018, this article examines the impact of psychological expectation under the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) pressure on enterprise innovation. The empirical study finds that the high dividend payout mainly increases the liquidity of the stock, which makes the company face a greater risk of hostile merger and acquisition, and thus causes the management to pay attention to the psychological preference of short-term effect, and reduces the level of enterprise R&D and innovation. Moreover, the above conclusion is still true after controlling the endogenetic problem. Further research shows that in private enterprises, enterprises with low ownership concentration and non-high-tech enterprises, large stock dividends has a more obvious inhibiting effect on the level of enterprises’ R&D and innovation. After excluding the possible of agency problem, the conclusion is still robust. This article expands the research on the influencing factors of enterprise innovation from the perspective of psychological expectation. The findings of this study provide references and inspirations for facilitating enterprise innovations by reducing short-sighted behaviors of management under increased stock liquidity.
