Abstract

Using non-balanced panel data from China's property-liability insurance market between 2008 and 2016, this study examines the impact of business structures on corporate financial stability. Results show that an increase in non-auto insurance significantly improves an enterprise's financial stability, particularly for foreign-funded and small Chinese-funded companies. An analysis of the moderating effect shows that only small Chinese-funded insurance companies will benefit from the positive effect of the business structure on financial stability. These findings have important policy implications for the government and insurers.
