The Effect of Financial Constraints on Firm Innovation:An Empirical Study Based on the Panel Data Model
In order to explore the relationship between financial constraints and firm innovation,this paper employs a threshold panel da-ta model to analyze the effect of financial constraints on firms'innovation level and efficiency based on A-share listed companies in China.Moreover,this paper analyzes the effect of enterprise property and internal control on the relationship between financing con-straints and firm innovation.The empirical results clearly show:(1)financial constraints are significantly negatively related to firms'in-novation level,while positively related to the innovation efficiency;(2)firms'property and their internal control degree play an impor-tant role in the relationship between financial constraints and firms'innovation level and efficiency.Financing constraints impose more significant negative effects on state-owned enterprises'innovation level,while more significant positive effects on private enterprises'in-novation efficiency.For state-owned and private enterprises,internal control is able to strengthen both the negative effects of financing constraints on innovation level and the positive effects on innovation efficiency.
