- Abstract
Since the split share structure reform in 2005, the behavior of equity pledge of listed companies in China has been increasing, which has a profound impact on the operation of listed companies. Based on the data of A-share listed companies from 2014 to 2021, and from the perspective of control right transfer risk, this paper proves that the equity pledge of controlling shareholders significantly inhibits the financial asset allocation of listed companies, and that a higher level of commercial credit and a lower degree of product market competition can weaken this inhibition. The above results above discuss the difference of economic consequences of controlling shareholder's equity pledge in different situations. Further research shows that listed companies after pledge tend to reduce the holding of trading financial assets and derivative financial assets.
