Abstract
We investigate the impact of mixed ownership reform (MOR) intensity on trade credit obtained by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in China from 2009 to 2021. Drawing on a novel, hand-collected database, we find that MOR intensity has a significantly negative effect on trade credit. The path analyses show that financial constrains and corporate profitability are the channel of our main finding. Moreover, the negative relationship between MOR intensity and trade credit is more pronounced for central SOEs, firms facing weaker market competition or higher supplier concentration. This study explores the causes of an SOE's trade credit demand and the consequences of MOR in China.
