Abstract

This paper analyzes the influence of sponsors and major shareholders on the financing costs of financial leasing companies. Based on the natural experiment of financial leasing companies issuing financial bonds, we find that the financing cost of financial leasing companies controlled by non-banks is significantly higher than that controlled by banks, and the cost of financing for financial leasing companies is generally cheap when the largest shareholder is larger and more profitable. Further, the financing cost of the financial leasing companies controlled by banks is mainly affected by its factors, while the other is significantly affected by the basic characteristics of major shareholders.
