企业数字化转型是否有助于监管?来自上市公司违规的经验证据

Does Digital Transformation of Enterprises Help with Regulation?Empirical Evidence from Breaches of Chinese A-share Listed Companies

  • 摘要: 全面强化资本市场监管是推动金融高质量发展、夯实金融强国建设基础的重要内容。近些年,随着企业数字化转型的加速推进,上市公司的信息日益透明,这一转变能否有效减少企业的违规从而赋能资本市场监管?随着金融强国建设进程的加快,该议题引起学界与业界的广泛关注。本文以中国A股上市公司为研究对象,基于2011年~2022年度数据进行回归检验。研究发现,企业数字化转型对于上市公司违规事件的数量存在显著的正向影响。进一步研究发现其原因在于,企业数字化转型虽然能够抑制公司的违规倾向,但是也大幅提高了违规行为被监管机构稽查的可能性,且由于后者能够发挥更大作用、发掘出更多隐蔽的违规行为,从而提升了被通报的违规数量。机制分析表明,企业数字化转型影响上市公司违规主要通过提高公司透明度、增强股权激励和推动投资者情绪产生作用。本文揭示了企业数字化转型影响上市公司违规的规律与作用机制,这为强化资本市场监管、加快建设金融强国以及推动经济高质量发展提供了政策视角。

     

    Abstract: Comprehensively strengthening capital market regulation is an important element in building financial powerhouse. In recent years, with the accelerated digital transformation of enterprises, the information of listed companies has become increasingly transparent. Can this shift effectively reduce corporate breaches and thus empower capital market regulation? With the acceleration of tbuilding financial powerhouse, this topic has attracted extensive attention from both the academia and industry. This paper takes Chinese A-share listed companies as subject and conducts regression tests based on annual data from 2011 to 2022. It is found that there is a significant positive effect of enterprise digital transformation on the breaches of listed companies. Further research finds that while corporate digital transformation can curb a firm’s propensity to breach, it also dramatically increases the likelihood that breaches will be audited by the regulator, and increases the number of breaches notified due to the latter’s ability to play a greater role in uncovering more hidden breaches. Mechanistic analysis suggests that corporate digital transformation affects public company breaches mainly through improving corporate transparency, enhancing equity incentives, and driving investor sentiment. This paper studies capital market regulation from the theoretical perspective of enterprise digital transformation, and the results show that enterprise digital transformation helps to strengthen regulation, compress regulatory vacuum, and then promote the fairness of the capital market.
