Abstract

With the convening of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our country has firmly implemented the innovation-driven development strategy. As microeconomic entities, enterprises should actively respond to the call of the country to transform economic development patterns and strive to enhance the level of scientific research and innovation. Therefore, it is becoming more and more important to study how to strengthen enterprise innovation and R&D investment. Financing channels have always been one of the important factors affecting enterprises’ R&D investment. Previous studies have shown that the funds supporting R&D activities of enterprise are mainly the cash held within the company. Therefore, this paper studies the influence of cash holding level on R&D investment intensity with the samples of China’s A-share listed high-tech enterprises from 2014 to 2018. The empirical results show that there is a significant positive correlation between cash holdings of Chinese high-tech enterprises and their R&D input, and the positive effect is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises and enterprises with high degree of marketization. This study expands the relationship between the level of enterprise R&D investment and financing constraints, and deepens the understanding of cash holdings.
