Abstract
This study investigates whether institutional bond blockholders (i.e., bond funds that hold more than 5% of a firm's outstanding bonds) impede firm innovative activities, and if they do, through which channels.

Short-term bond blockholders, however, significantly reduce both firm investments in RD Innovation; Investment Horizon; Wall Street Walk
