- Abstract
Based on statistics of A-share enterprises in the period of 2007 to 2010, our literature mainly discuss the impact of executives’ political and financial connection on the financial constraints of the firms with different properties of ownership and in locations with different degree of marketization. Our study vindicates that private enterprises located in areas with low degree of marketization, executives with financial connections can alleviate the financial constraints. However, in areas with high degree of marketization executives with political connections can alleviate the financial constraints. Furthermore, in state-owned enterprises, executives with political connections can alleviate the financial constraints. Therefore, our study contributes to existing literatures regarding executive background and financial constraints. And we also provide instructions for firms that want to moderate financial constraints by recruiting new executives.
