摘要: 媒体能否影响到公司的研发水平?对不同公司的影响是否会有差异?本文运用中国上市公司2007—2014年的数据,考察媒体关注对公司研发投入的影响。结果表明:(1)媒体关注显著降低了公司的研发投入;(2)通过业绩压力,媒体主要作用于非国有公司,对国有公司没有影响;(3)两职合一、管理层持股与薪酬激励均可以有效缓解媒体的影响。本文的研究既丰富了媒体影响公司行为的文献,也对上市公司加强内部治理体系建设具有重要启示意义。

Abstract: Does media affect the companys R&D level and whether there is heterogeneity? Using the dataset of Chinese listed companies, this paper empirically studies the impacts of media coverage on companies R&D investment. Through empirical research, this paper provides the following conclusions: Firstly, Media coverage significantly reduces companies R&D investment. To be more specific, Media coverage has a significant impact on nonstateowned companies due to the performance pressure, while it has no impact on stateowned companies. Finally, CEO duality, managers shareholding and salary incentives can effectively alleviate the negative impact of media coverage on R&D investment. These conclusions not only enrich the understanding of media coverage on corporate behaviors, but also shed light on the construction of internal governance system of listed companies.
