Abstract

This paper studies the impact of the liberalization of the Chinese stock market on company total factor productivity (TFP) and its mechanism of action by using the "Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect" program. The benchmark regression results based on the multi-period difference-in-difference (DID) model show that the implementation of the “Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect” program significantly increases the TFP of target companies, a conclusion that is still valid after a series of robustness tests. Further mechanism analyses shows that the program increases company TFP by both increasing a company's stock liquidity and information transparency and reducing the degree of financing constraints.
