Abstract

The excessive financialization of real enterprises has a negative impact on enterprise innovation, unbalanced economic development and financial stability. This paper studies the tradeoff logic between corporate financialization and earnings management from the perspective of external governance of institutional investors. It is found that strategic institutional investors may reduce accrued earnings management and real activity earnings management of listed companies by allocating financial assets. In addition, strategic institutional investors are for the dual purposes of obtaining short-term earnings and restraining earnings management of listed companies, while financial institutional investors may be mainly for the purpose of obtaining short-term earnings. Further research shows that when strategic institutional investors participate in corporate governance, they can reduce the earnings management of their real activities by supervising the abnormal production activities of listed companies. The conclusion of this paper shows that the external effects of institutional investors are reflected in corporate finance and earnings management. By paying attention to institutional investors, we can give better play to their external governance effects and improve the quality of listed companies.
