Does banking relationships promote environmental, social, and governance performance? Empirical evidence from A-share listed firms in China
This study investigates the impact of banking relationships on corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance using data from A-share listed firms in China from 2009 to 2019. Results show that banking relationships negatively impact corporate ESG performance. Mechanism analysis finds that banking relationships increase agency costs and financial investment, thereby diminishing ESG performance. Corporate executives with banking backgrounds and banks holding firm shares dampen ESG performance, whereas firms holding bank shares do not yield significant impact on ESG performance. Our study also finds that the negative impact of banking relationships on ESG performance is mitigated by analyst attention and supervisory institutional investors.
期刊介绍:
Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
