This paper uses the financial data of all Chinese listed companies to construct two indexes that reflect the degree of external financing constraints faced by firms, using logistic regression model and multiple discriminate analyses respectively. Second, the author examines the relationship between financing constraints and the investment-cash flow sensitivity using OLS regressions. This paper provides evidence that the relationship between financing constraints and investment-cash flow sensitivity is monotonic, which is consistent with the findings of FHP(1988).

This paper measured level of corporate over-investment with DEA method. In this paper, the empirical research tested the excessive levels of investment in listed companies. Studies have been shown by investment-cash flow sensitivity and growth function in metrics when excessive levels of investment in listed companies in China. Tobin Q values are not objective enough in China's capital market, while DEA method can be more scientific measure of Chinese listed companies for the level of over-investment.

This study aims to test the pecking order theory by looking at the level of cash flow sensitivity as a source of internal financing for all types of external financing (debt and equity). This testing also considering the financial constraint variable as moderation. The data used are the financial statements of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2014 - 2018. The dependent variable is all types of external financing (debt and equity). Debt financing is divided into two forms, short-term debt financing and long-term debt financing. While the independent variable is cash flow. The results obtained is that cash flow does not substitute all types of external financing, and the highest cash flow sensitivity occurs in short-term debt financing. The next result is that financial constraint strengthen the sensitivity of cash flow to debt and equity financing

This study bases on investment - cash flow related theories and Euler model, references to the research of Forbes(2003) and Jaewoon Koo(2005), exports investment- cash flow sensitivity and impact factor model , makes 77 of China's listed manufacturing companies as a sample, uses the empirical to analyze (I/K)i,t-1,(S/K)i,t, (CF/K)i,t, and also to analyze whether external financing , corporate nature (whether are state-owned enterprises), the degree of financial market development, the period around the financial crisis, the effect (fi+d)thave an impact on investment - cash flow. The empirical results show that although China's listed companies as a whole show a strong investment - cash flow sensitivity, this phenomenon is not just caused by financing constraints, trade-off theory or agency problems, but by the type of the company.

Economic theory posits that financial development eases firm level financing constraints by mitigating information asymmetry and contracting imperfections. This paper empirically tests for this notion by using firm level data from selected African countries. The sampled firms show positive and significant investment cash flow sensitivity coefficients indicating they are financially constrained. Financial development is found to have a significant and negative effect on the estimated cash flow sensitivity coefficients indicating it reduces firm financial constraints. The result further shows that such positive role of financial development is attributed to financial intermediary development and not to stock market development. A unique result to the African reality is that even firms in countries with high level of financial development are financially constrained. This implies the financial development in Africa is too weak and more policy attention is needed in this regard.

This study is based on the premise that firms pursuing unique corporate strategies impose a high information cost on security analysts. A difficult information environment will foster analyst herding and lead to financing constraints for firms with unique corporate strategies. We find that corporate strategy uniqueness is positively related to analyst herding, which suggests that strategy uniqueness is associated with greater information asymmetry between corporate insiders and outsiders. Furthermore, we find that firms with more unique strategies have higher investment–cash flow sensitivity, indicating that strategy uniqueness makes it harder for firms to obtain external financing. Our findings contribute to research about the consequences of pursuing strategies that security analysts are unwilling or unable to value.

Innovation capability of enterprises will greatly influence the current and future development of companies. This paper investigates the relationship between customer concentration and innovation capability of enterprises through the view of both the financing constraints and the expectation of managers. Based on the data of China’s A-share listed companies over the period from 2012 to 2016, several methods including system GMM, threshold model of fixed effects, and PSM are applied for empirical analysis. The results show that the innovation capability of listed companies in China are negatively correlated with the customer concentration. Higher customer concentration brings about stronger constraints from large customers on enterprises and greater dependence of enterprises on large customers, which result in weaker demand for innovation and lower investment in innovation. Meanwhile, the results demonstrate the double-threshold effect of financing constraints. The effect of customer concentration on innovation can be different in companies with low, medium, or high-financing constraints. Furthermore, optimistic expectations are more conducive to the reduction of customer concentration and the improvement of innovation. In addition, based on the perspective of the manager’s expectation, the research demonstrates the heterogeneous impact of manager’s expectation on the relationship between customer concentration and innovation capability.
