| Résumé : |
Managing cash reserve levels has been a tricky question for firms to trying to find a trade-off between benefits and costs that works the best for their favors. Having more cash available means that the firms are open to more future growth and investment opportunities, capital expenditure and R&D,and to deal with seasonal or cyclical volatility of cash flows. The importance of corporate governance has on the value creation and long-term management of the firm has seized more and more attention.Current studies have shown that corporate governance has played an important role in determining the ,level of cash holdings those corporates have. Dittmar & Mahrt-Smith (2007) and Harford et al., (2012)
both show that firms with weaker corporate governance tend to have higher levels of cash holdings in 45 countries. However, those studies did not dig deep enough to capture the cross-sectional variation on the firm-level corporate governance and its relationships with cash holdings. Therefore, this unanswered question lays the foundation of the hypothesis, in which it examines on the firm-level basis if various attributes of corporate governance have any kinds of relationship with levels of cash holdings. To extend this hypothesis a bit further, this paper also examines if this implied nature of corporate governance andlevel of cash holdings combined together have a material effect on the value of firm especially in Chinese stock markets. Most of the studies on corporate governance focus on western stock markets.Chinese stock markets are much less discussed.After comprehensive study of Chinese listed companies’ cash levels and its attributes of corporate governance, I found that firms with weaker corporate governance, i.e. CEO-Chairman duality,large board size, small proportion of independent directors in audit committee and whether thecompany is family controlled, tend to develop a more conservative corporate cash policy meaning that they have more cash reserves. Shareholders tend to react negatively to excess cash holdings due to thepossibility of managerial entrenchment. |
