Abstract
China’s listed companies have short-term debt financing preference. But institutional shareholders have the ability to influence the company’s financing decisions. Through the analysis of 2009–2011 data, we found that the proportion of institutional investors holding has a significant negative correlation with the level of short-term debt. The results show that institutional investors effectively participate in corporate finance. Institutional shareholders inhibit short-term debt financing preference. The positive action is conducive to the development of capital markets and the improvement of governance structure of listed companies.
