The reason is that the controlling shareholders may occupy the related deposits of listed companies in the finance companies. We find that the inhibition effect is more significant when the controlling shareholders’ shareholding ratio is low and the related party transactions are high, and is weakened after the implementation of the deleveraging policy. Moreover, the inhibition effect is significant in both the upward and downward adjustment processes. In addition, the finance companies make the deviation of capital structure of listed companies larger, and this effect is mainly reflected in upward deviation. We also find that the functions of finance companies will affect the dynamic adjustment of capital structure of listed companies.","PeriodicalId":37215,"journal":{"name":"China Journal of Accounting Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47087274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper empirically investigates the impact of index adjustments on corporate social responsibility performance by employing the quasi-natural experiment of CSI 300 index adjustments. We find that index additions significantly promote corporate social responsibility performance. Mechanism analysis supports the shareholder value maximisation motivation that drives the fulfilment of corporate social responsibility. In addition, more analyst following and investor attention plays a significant mediating role in the promotion impact of stock index additions on corporate social responsibility. Further analyses show that the positive impact of the stock index additions on corporate social responsibility performance is more pronounced in industries with more competitive product market. However, index deletions do not significantly reduce corporate social responsibility performance, implying that index additions and index deletions have asymmetric effects.","PeriodicalId":37215,"journal":{"name":"China Journal of Accounting Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42419367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
