Abstract

Using a sample of A-share listed companies in China from 2007 to 2019, we investigate the effect of analyst coverage on corporate innovation. We find that analyst coverage will promote corporate innovation, supporting the information hypothesis. We also discuss possible mechanisms of how analyst coverage increases innovation. The information and monitor effects are two plausible channels that allow analyst coverage to promote innovation. Heterogeneity analysis shows the positive relation is more pronounced in non-SOEs, in higher intellectual property protection regions. And considering the firms' life cycle, we find firms in the growth and maturity stage are more vulnerably affected by analysts. Further investigation reveals a positive relationship between analyst coverage and external innovation, and the increased innovation ultimately translates into the long-term value of firms. Our research enriches the impact of analyst coverage on innovation and provides new empirical evidence to improve the multi-level capital market.
