【内容摘要】
We utilize a dataset containing detailed turnover data of top provincial leaders in China and the financial information of Chinese listed companies to study the different investment behaviors between companies. We find that market-dependent enterprises (MDEs) and policy-dependent enterprises (PDEs) choose different investment decisions to avoid risk in the uncertain period. The optimal decision of MDEs is to increase financial investment before the turnover, while PDEs invest in political resources before the turnover. Due to the role of political resources, after the turnover, the real investment of PDEs increases, while the real investment of MDEs does not change. Further, we explain this finding from the different sources of decision-making information between MDEs and PDEs. MDEs rely on market information to make investment decisions, while PDEs also have political resource information in addition to market information. The research results show that the decline of the MDEs’ stock price informativeness before the turnover promotes the financial investment of MDEs, while the rise of PDEs’ stock price informativeness given by political resource information after the turnover promotes the real investment of PDEs. Finally, in the robustness test, we provide evidence of the impact of political information on a firm’s decisions. MDEs’ investment-stock price sensitivity decreases significantly in the turnover period and after the turnover, while PDEs’ investment-stock price sensitivity increases and decreases after the turnover.
