Abstract

Using a unique setting of Chinese A-share listed companies, we investigate the relationship between controlling shareholder pledging and firm’s default risk. We find that both the existence of controlling shareholder pledging and the proportion of pledges in listed companies have a significant negative relationship with the default risk. This negative relationship is stronger among non-state-owned enterprises.
