We find that the informal hierarchy of independent directors is negatively correlated with the two types of agency costs and the negative effect is robust to alternative empirical designs. Moreover, our further research indicates that ownership structure matters for the performance of independent directors. We provide empirical evidence for optimizing the independent director team structure and improving corporate governance.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"39 1","pages":"1694 - 1708"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87149985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although tax policies play an important role in wage determination, there is little research on how they affect wage stickiness. We treat China’s tax-reforming 2008 Corporate Income Tax Law as a shock and find that increases in nominal tax rates enhance wage stickiness in relation to ordinary employees but not executive compensation. The effect is most pronounced in enterprises with higher long-term debt ratios, state-owned enterprises, and labor-intensive industries.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"3 1","pages":"1204 - 1225"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89643253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We disaggregate a firm’s social capital into professional, political, and commercial capital. Our empirical results show that professional social capital can significantly reduce CCEs’ investment-cash flow sensitivity and help gain bank loans, thereby alleviating CCEs’ financial constraints. However, political and commercial social capital do not lessen financial constraints. We also find evidence that intellectual property protection acts to amplify the negative relation between professional social capital and financial constraints. These results are robust to alternative measures of key constructs and model specifications.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"227 1","pages":"1518 - 1541"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77449283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the three main types of Chinese banks as our sample, this study first confirms the existence of loan herding and the positive effects of a weak board structure on poor lending performance (i.e. underperformance). Then, after finding positive impacts of this underperformance on loan herding, we examine whether board structure variables negatively affect loan herding. We find that higher director compensation, a moderate average age of directors, and higher director education levels significantly reduce bank loan herding, whereas board duality and the presence of very old directors significantly increase bank loan herding. Finally, we study the mediation effect of loan performance on the relationship between board structure and loan herding. Our results show that board governance quality affects loan performance, which, in turn, affects loan herding.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"110 1","pages":"1494 - 1517"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91297988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a large sample of 13,321 Chinese listed firms during the period 2000–2017, the study reveals that political uncertainty causes firms to reduce their environmental investment. In examining the moderating influences of political connection and the institutional environment on such a response, we find that the negative relationship between political uncertainty and environmental investment is strengthened when firms have strong political connection, but is weakened in a more developed institutional environment. The results of the study are robust to a variety of sensitivity tests. We also investigate the importance of industry differences in terms of the role of political uncertainty, but find this to be insignificant across different firm ownership and regional location types. The findings of this study extend the current understanding of how and why the sustainable behavior of enterprises varies depending on the effect of political factors, particularly in the Chinese context, and offer important implications for enterprises in their quest to achieve sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"376 1","pages":"1184 - 1203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85476216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a sample of Chinese firms, we find that firms in the cities where GDP is manipulated by local leaders are more likely to disclose environmental information by using soft and unverifiable information. We also find that the results are stronger for state-owned companies, for high-polluting firms, and for firms with low-quality internal control. We further find that GDP manipulation is negatively associated with the level of trust in local government, which could potentially explain the relation between GDP manipulation and soft disclosures. This is the first study to investigate the influence of local politicians, who have incentives to inflate GDP growth, on a firm’s disclosure quality.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"24 1","pages":"1165 - 1183"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81920331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
