摘要：

We examine the impact of interlocking directors with digital experience on corporate digitalization. Using a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2007 to 2021, we find that interlocking directors with digitalization experience have significant positive effect on the focal firm's digitalization. Mechanism analyses further indicate that these interlocking directors play a pivotal role in enabling firms to reduce information asymmetry and alleviate financial constraints by weakening managerial myopia in the focal firm. Cross-sectional analyses highlight that the favorable effect of such interlocking directors mainly exists in non-SOEs and firms with younger CEOs.
