摘要：Employing the launch of theShanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program as a quasi-exogenous shock, whichallows a sub-group of stocks to be investible while others are leftnon-investible by foreign investors, we find that stock market liberalizationencourages capital investment of A-share listed firms. Further analysisindicates that the launch of the program improves investment efficiency,alleviates agency problems, and facilitates equity and debt financing. We failto observe symmetric effects for H-share listed firms. Overall, our findingsindicate that the prospect of increased monitoring associated with capitalmarket liberalization may incentivize firms to seize growth opportunities inorder to attract more foreign capital inflows.
