论文摘要:

Using a unique dataset reflecting the businessentertainment expenditure (BEE) of Chinese public firms and a quasi-natural experiment,we find that BEE improves future sales, profitability, and valuation, a findingnot fully anticipated by investors and analysts. Further analyses suggest that stakeholderaccessibility and the managerial agency problem prevent firms from increasing theirBEE to maximize their value. In addition, we find that BEE can decreaselitigation occurrences with other firms, improve the quality of trade creditextended to customers, acquire more trade credit from suppliers, secure moregovernment subsidies, and lower collateral requirement of bank borrowings. Overall,our results suggest that BEE benefits firms by mitigating information problemswith stakeholders in market-based transactions and securing favorable outcomes fromstakeholders in non-market transactions.
