Abstract:
Using the data of China’s A-share listed company during 2009-2014 in the capital market, this paper analyzes the influence of the financial flexibility of over-investment as a whole with the Richardson (2006) over-investment model. In addition, through the introduction of corporate governance variables and the construction of corporate governance index according to the level of corporate governance elements, the corporate governance will be divided into different groups according to the corporate Governance Index. The paper also studies the influence of the financial flexibility to over-investment at different levels of corporate governance. The result shows that company's financial flexibility has a significant impact on the over-investment. The company that has the higher financial flexibility tends to have over-investment; the high level of the corporate governance can reduce the enhancement of the financial flexibility to overinvestment, this the higher is the level of corporate governance, the lower is the effect of the financial flexibility to over-investment.
