Abstract

As Enterprise Financialization refers to the process in which enterprises obtain funds through financing channels to support their business and development activities. This financing channel can include bank loans, bond issuance, stock issuance and other forms. And the purpose of Enterprise Financialization is to improve the efficiency of capital utilization. However, we would test the hypothesis in our research is that the extent to which corporate Financialization increases R&D spending may depend on a variety of factors. And we figure that a rise in R&D spending results from a 1% increase in finalization. This finding confirms the theory that finalization and R&D positively correlated.

Keywords
