Abstract

This paper empirically tests the impact of heterogeneous equity mix on corporate performance using unbalanced dynamic panel data of China’s A-share main board market from 2008-2019 and comparatively analyzes the differences in the impact of heterogeneous equity mix on different holding companies’ performance and socioeconomic efficiency. The results show that a heterogeneous equity mix has no significant effect on the operating efficiency of enterprises, but has a significant positive effect on the operating efficiency and socioeconomic efficiency of enterprises. However, a heterogeneous equity mix does not promote the transformation of operation and governance mechanisms, resulting in no significant improvement in enterprise operating efficiency.
