Abstract

Property rights theory has been widely applied to explain ownership structure, investment decision and firm performance.  However, not enough attention has been paid to the financing approach of corporate investment, especially how property attributes, which differ in tangibility and contractual characteristics, relate to firm’s choice of financing approach, in terms of debt financing versus equity financing.  This paper examines the relationship between property rights protection and corporate investment, as well as the underlying mechanisms. Leveraging the enactment of China’s Property Law in 2007, we find that strengthening property rights protection motivates firms to increase their investment in both tangible and intangible property, and that such an effect is mediated by both debt and equity financing.  Furthermore, we reveal that there exists an alignment between financing approaches and property attributes. We contribute to the property rights research and propose some substantive managerial implications.
