Abstract

We empirically examine some listed Chinese firms' political connection, ownership, and financing constraints. Politically-connected firms display no financing constraints whereas firms without connection experience significant constraints. Non-connected family-controlled firms bear greater constraints than non-connected state-owned firms. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
