Abstract

This study investigates how financial institution agglomeration affects labor allocation efficiency in non-financial firms listed on China's A-share markets, within a context of expanded government debt and relaxed local debt financing controls. Results show that such agglomeration significantly improves labor efficiency, mainly by easing financing constraints. The positive impact is stronger in non-state-owned and manufacturing firms.
