A U-shaped relationship between real financialization and financial risk: Evidence from a single threshold model

Abstract

Financialization plays an important role in promoting economic development. This paper discusses the motivations and impacts of enterprises' financialization, and introduces the current state of China's economic development and the current state of China's business economy to deepen the understanding of economic trends. It also examines the impact of enterprises' financialization on financial risk using a threshold model. The results show a U-shaped relationship between entity enterprises' financialization and financial risk: financialization helps reduce financial risk when the level of financialization reaches 0.45%.
