This article explores how the financial status of firms impacts their investment reactions to monetary policy shocks in China.
Utilized a heterogeneous firm framework linking monetary shocks to panel data on Chinese listed firms.
Analyzed the impact of leverage states on investment responses post-monetary shocks.
Assessed the role of ownership structure in mediating investment reactions.
Firms with high leverage experience greater reductions in financing costs and increased investment following expansionary monetary shocks.
Investment responses to monetary tightening are statistically insignificant, indicating asymmetry in reactions.
Non-state-owned firms show significant leverage-driven amplification in investment effects, unlike state-owned firms.
