摘要
This study examines the role of Chinese state ownership in deterring takeovers. We document state own-ership's reduction in firms' susceptibility to potential takeovers. Using staggered privatization of the state-owned shareholders of public firms, as shocks to the deterrent effect of the state, we find that state-owned shareholders can insulate their portfolio firms from potential takeovers. The deterrent effect of state ownership is concentrated in strategic industries and well-functioning assets, alleviating managerial short-termism.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
