Abstract

Social trust, a crucial part of informal institution of enterprises, plays a significant role in corporate management. With enterprises listed on China’s A-shares market traded on Shanghai-Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2010 to 2020 as research samples, this study empirically investigates the impact of regional social trust on enterprise earnings management. The investigation shows that the agency cost and financing constraints are the pathways for the influence of social trust, and the influence is more prominent in non-state-owned enterprises and enterprises in eastern and western China. The research here has extended the research scope of informal institution and provided some guidance for improving the corporate management model.
