Abstract

Using 2007–2022 data from Chinese listed firms, this study theoretically analyses and empirically tests the impact of rent-seeking on corporate financial asset allocation. Findings show that rent-seeking contributes significantly to the allocation of corporate financial assets Especially in non-high-tech firms and those with low information transparency as well as high degree of market competition. Rent-seeking affects the allocation of corporate financial assets by reducing financing costs.
