Abstract

This study focuses on A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2023, aiming to analyze the impact of government subsidies on corporate financialization and the moderating role of economic policy uncertainty. The empirical results show that government subsidies significantly inhibit corporate financialization, while economic policy uncertainty amplifies this inhibitory effect. Specifically, when economic policy uncertainty rises, the inhibitory effect of government subsidies on corporate financialization becomes more pronounced. Additionally, the study finds that financing constraints play a partial mediating role in the process by which government subsidies inhibit corporate financialization. The findings of this research expand the research perspective in the field of corporate financialization, providing theoretical foundations and practical guidance for governments to precisely formulate subsidy policies and for enterprises to reasonably adjust their business strategies to promote the coordinated development of the real economy and finance.
