Abstract
We investigate the correlation between common institutional ownership and R&D manipulation by analyzing A-share listed companies in China from 2008 to 2021. Our findings indicate that common institutional ownership significantly reduces R&D manipulation through effective monitoring and governance. Further examinations of investor characteristics reveal that our findings are more pronounced in samples whose common owners are long-term investors or state-owned firms. Finally, we discover that common institutional ownership significantly improves the R&D input and total factor productivity. Overall, our research demonstrates that common institutional ownership has a beneficial impact in reducing misconduct such as R&D manipulation.
