Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of capital market opening on inefficient labour investment of enterprises and its impact path. This paper takes 2010–2019 A-share non-financial listed companies in Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) as research objects and samples, and uses DID method to examine the impact of capital market opening on labour investment efficiency of listed companies.We collected 22567 pieces of data.The results show that the capital market opening system significantly reduces inefficient labour investment of enterprises, mainly through reducing the information asymmetry and the agency costs as the main paths. This research shows that the capital market opening is of positive significance to the sustainable development of enterprises, and it proposes targeted suggestions for the government, listed companies and market investors to effectively reduce the inefficient labour investment of enterprises. The research provides more feasible references for capital market opening and corporate governance, and also offers theoretical evidence for the implementation of ‘Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect’ program.
