Heterogeneous Shareholders’ Participation, COVID-19 Impact, and Innovation Decisions of State-Owned Firms: Evidence from China
Innovation ability has become an important factor affecting the global competitiveness and sustainable development of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in China, particularly during the COVID-19 period. This study examined the association between heterogeneous shareholders and SOE innovation, in addition to the moderating impact of corporate governance characteristics and the COVID-19 pandemic on this association. Using data from Chinese A-share listed mixed ownership enterprises (MOEs), we found that the mixed ownership reform of SOEs positively affected firm innovation compared to other MOEs by reducing agency costs, indicating that the manager view channel was proven. We also found that heterogeneous shareholders resulted in more innovation output in state-owned holding mixed ownership enterprises (SHMOEs) with affiliated managers, in those audited by lower reputation accounting firms or that had a lower external marketization, or during the COVID-19 period. The implications of this study are of importance for improving heterogeneous shareholders’ active participation in the mixed ownership reform of SOEs.
