Abstract：
This study examines the impact of holding bank ownership on the firms’ investment efficiency in Chinese capital market. We find that the economic bond with banks reduce the investment inefficiency in holding firms by mitigating both underinvestment and overinvestment. Our analysis reveals that holding bank ownership ameliorates the underinvestment by mitigating financial constraints through raising more bank loans and through reducing the cash flow sensitivity of cash holdings. Holding bank ownership also reduces the overinvestment by enhancing corporate governance through the stricter disclosure requirement and closer monitoring from dual regulatory agencies, which results in lower level of corporate cash holdings and controlling shareholder expropriations, especially in firms with a high propensity of overinvestment. Finally, we find that impact of holding bank ownership on reducing investment inefficiency is more pronounced in non-SOEs, firms located in provinces with low marketization and firm without institutional investors.
