- Abstract
Demand for funds is high for listed real estate companies. The degree of debt financing has a great impact on their business performance. This paper examines the relationship between debt financing and business performance under different growing abilities by building a panel threshold regression model for 107 listed real estate companies in China. It is shown that a negative declining effect exists between the rate of debt and business performance. Also, there is a triple threshold effect for companies with different growing abilities. The negative influence decreases with the growing abilities of business. As a result, listed real estate companies should adopt appropriate debt financing scale based on their development levels in order to maximize the benefits.
