Abstract
During the transition period, flaws in the financial system hinder the development of the real economy. Thus, improving financial service efficiency in the real economy is crucial. This study examines how the financial geographical structure affects resource allocation efficiency of investment-oriented enterprises. Empirical findings indicate that a closer proximity to financial institutions and sectors enhances resource allocation efficiency, particularly for non-state-owned enterprises, those grappling with severe financing constraints, and those in regions with advanced marketization level.
