Abstract:

Based on the panel data of 192 national-level innovative listed enterprises during the period between 2010 and 2013, by estab-lishing threshold panel regression model, this paper analyzes the effect of relationship financing on R&D investment of innovative enter-prise from the perspective of information asymmetry threshold and financing structure threshold.The results show that:there is a signifi-cant threshold effect between relationship financing and R&D investment of innovative enterprise.When the enterprise information asym-metry is in a high level, the relationship financing has a significant positive effect on R&D investment of innovative enterprise, and when the enterprise information asymmetry is in a low level, the relationship financing has a significant negative effect on R&D investment of innovative enterprise.When the enterprise financing structure is in a low or middle level, the relationship financing has a significant posi-tive effect on R&D investment of innovative enterprise, and when the enterprise financing structure in a high level, the relationship finan-cing has a significant negative effect on R&D investment of innovative enterprise.
