摘要
随着中国对外开放的不断深化,中国良好的营商环境和招商引资政策吸引着越来越多的跨国企业进入中国市场。外资并购作为外商直接投资的一种主要形式,在中国经济发展中的作用已经引起了学者们的关注。作为这些学术探索之一,本研究采用来自工业企业年度调查(ASIF)数据库和Bureau Van Dijk (BVD)数据库的大规模企业层面数据,开创性地确定了外资并购a的库存调整效应。研究结果表明:(1)外资并购A通过市场规模效应对半成品库存产生显著的正向影响。在控制一系列控制变量,采用PSM+DID方法并进行异质性检验后,结果仍具有稳健性。(2)外资并购A对整体库存有显著的负向影响。此外,外资并购A也表现出对优等生的偏好,总资产和资本较高、产值、附加值较高、出口贸易竞争力强、销售收入较高的企业容易成为跨国企业追逐的目标。
Foreign M&A and inventory adjustment: Evidence from Chinese manufacturers
With China’s deepening opening-up to the world, its favorable business environment and investment attraction policies appeal to a growing number of multinational enterprises to enter the Chinese market. As a major form of FDI, foreign M&A has raised scholars' attention to explore its role in China's economic development. As one of these academic explorations, this study makes a pioneering effort to identify the inventory adjustment effect of Foreign M&A by adopting a large-scale, firm-level dataset from the Annual Survey of Industrial Firms (ASIF) database and the Bureau Van Dijk (BVD) database. The conclusions are presented as follows: (1) Foreign M&A has a significantly positive impact on non-finished products inventory through the effect of market scale. The result remains robust when we controlled a series of control variables, using PSM+DID method and carrying out heterogeneity test. (2) Foreign M&A has a significantly negative impact on the overall inventory. In addition, foreign M&A also shows a preference for top performers, a tendency that enterprises with higher total assets and capital, higher output value, higher added value, export trade competitiveness and high sales income are prone to be targets hunted by multinational enterprises.
