内容简介：

Managers may be concerned about their career, thus invest less than the optimal level in risky projects, such as innovation. The presence of institutional investors may alleviate their career concern, thereby enhancing firm innovation. By investigating China's high-tech listed firms during 2001-2007, we find that the presence of institutional investors did enhance firm patenting. Consistent with the career concern hypothesis, we find that the effect of institutional investors on firm patenting was stronger when the product market competition was more intense. We also find that managers were less likely to be fired in firms with higher institutional ownership when bad performance occurred. Moreover, the above findings only existed among non-SOEs but not among SOEs, in which top managers were also government officials.
