Chinese corporations that offer broad-based incentives for employees and managers demonstrate greater R&amp;D investment efficiency, as evidenced by a higher ratio of innovation outputs to cost allocation. Conversely, firms receiving government R&amp;D subsidies demonstrate lower efficiency. Accounting for endogenous treatments in a multi-treatment framework, we suggest an information-sharing environment is critical for efficient capital allocation. Government agencies will likely provide subsidies based on information different from what firm headquarters might have, while broad-based incentive programs encourage employee coordination, enhancing efficiency and project quality. To signal project quality, firms with broad-based incentives capitalize a higher proportion of R&amp;D costs than subsidized firms. We also find that combining broad-based incentives and subsidies might not create synergies.</p>","PeriodicalId":46664,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Finance","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/irfi.70011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143646321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different from using search volume of certain macroeconomic terms to capture investor attention/sentiment, this new measure is crafted from analyzing and classifying the sentiment contents of textual comments of retail investors active in a major Chinese stock forum. Different from the traditional sentiment studies linking market-level sentiment to market-wide reactions, this uncomplicated measure is constructed for individual stocks and subsequently, reactions of the same stocks are tracked and examined, offering a more direct and precise correlation test. In our validation tests, we show a significantly positive correlation between investor sentiment and three stock market parameters that is, stock return, price volatility, and information efficiency. Specifically, a positive sentiment is associated with higher stock returns and a higher degree of information efficiency as well as higher price volatility.

Moreover, these board chairs underestimate future corporate earnings, are less prone to overinvestment, adopt more hedging strategies, and ensure higher-quality accounting information. The results are particularly pronounced in firms with lower asset redeployability, higher financial distress risk, the absence of political affiliations, non-state ownership, lower market competition, and heightened economic policy uncertainty.
