Abstract

We find that firms with CFOs who have extensive social connections within the finance industry hold less precautionary cash. CFO connections matter more than CEO connections, reflecting the preeminence of CFOs among C-level executives in cash management and negotiating access to corporate finance. Firms reduce the proportion of assets held in cash by seven percentage points in the two years following CFO turnover and the appointment of a CFO with finance industry connections. The stock market valuation of incremental cash holdings of firms with well-connected CFOs is lower than for other firms, consistent with investor recognition of CFO social capital as an alternative means to address constraints on external capital.

首席财务官社会资本、流动性管理和现金的市场价值

我们发现，拥有在金融业拥有广泛社会关系的首席财务官的公司持有的预防性现金较少。首席财务官的人脉比首席执行官的人脉更重要，这反映了首席财务官在现金管理和企业融资谈判方面在 C 级高管中的优势。在首席财务官更替和任命与金融业有联系的首席财务官后的两年内，企业将现金资产比例降低了 7 个百分点。与其他公司相比，拥有关系良好的首席财务官的公司增持现金的股市估值较低，这与投资者认可首席财务官社会资本作为解决外部资本限制的替代手段是一致的。
