Abstract

This paper examined the impact of financing structure on the innovation efficiency of SMEs by constructing an econometric model using panel data of SMEs listed on the SME board from 2010 to 2020 as the research sample. The innovation efficiency of SMEs was measured by the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), the relationship between financing structure and innovation efficiency of SMEs was examined with the help of the Tobit model, and the corresponding heterogeneity analysis was conducted. Finally, the robustness of the model was tested. It was concluded that the effects of debt and equity financing on the quantitative efficiency of innovation were non-linear and mainly showed an inverted "U" shaped relationship. For innovation quality efficiency, bond financing could positively contribute, while equity financing negatively inhibits. Finally, the corresponding advice was given.

본 논문은 2010년부터 2020년까지 중국 중소기업협회에 등재된 중소기업의 패널 데이터를 연구 표본으로 하고, 계량경제학 모형을 이용하여 금융구조가 중소기업의 혁신효율성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 확률 변경 분석법(SFA)에 의해 측정된 중소기업의 혁신효율성을 측정하고, Tobit 모형으로 중소기업의 자금조달구조와 혁신효율성의 관계를 살펴보고, 이에 상응하는 이질성 분석을 하였다. 마지막으로, 모델의 견고성을 테스트하였다. 부채와 주식금융이 혁신의 양적 효율성에 미치는 영향은 비선형적이고, 주로 반전된 "U"자형 관계를 나타낸다는 결론이 나왔다. 혁신의 질적 효율성을 위한 채권재무는 긍정적으로 기여한 반면에 주식재무는 부정적으로 나타났다.
