Abstract
This study examines the impact of board co-option on cash holdings in Chinese listed firms. The results show that co-opted directors significantly increase corporate cash reserves. This effect is particularly strong in state-owned enterprises (SOEs), where co-opted boards further amplify cash accumulation. However, financial constraints attenuate this relationship. Moreover, the increase in cash reserves associated with board co-option is partially driven by enhanced firm profitability, highlighting its mediating role. These findings offer new insights into the governance mechanisms influencing cash management in China.
