Abstract
This study utilizes a sample comprising data from Chinese listed enterprises spanning from 2015 to 2022 to investigate the influence of monetary policy on enterprise growth and R&D investment. Our findings reveal that enterprise growth adversely impacts R&D investment; however, during periods of loose monetary policy, such adverse effects are mitigated. Conversely, in times of tight monetary policy, non-state-owned enterprises confront more severe financing constraints. Notably, during these tight periods, the impact of monetary policy on R&D investment, stemming from the attenuation of enterprise growth, is comparable between state-owned and non-state-owned enterprises.
