Abstract

Using a unique dataset comprising 6313 firm-year observations for Chinese listed firms between 2008 and 2017, we investigate the impact of CEO social capital on cost of debt. Our results show that CEO social capital is negatively related to cost of debt, and the impact of CEO social capital in environments with a low degree of marketization or social trust is more pronounced than in environments with a high degree of marketization or social trust. Moreover, our results reveal that two potential mechanisms, discretionary accruals and information disclosure quality, mediate the impact of CEO social capital on cost of debt.

社会资本与债务成本：来自中国首席执行官网络中心性的证据

我们利用 2008 年至 2017 年间由 6313 个公司年度观测数据组成的独特数据集，研究了 CEO 社会资本对债务成本的影响。我们的研究结果表明，CEO 社会资本与债务成本负相关，而且在市场化程度或社会信任度较低的环境中，CEO 社会资本的影响比在市场化程度或社会信任度较高的环境中更为明显。此外，我们的研究结果表明，全权应计制和信息披露质量这两种潜在机制可以调节 CEO 社会资本对债务成本的影响。
