The effect of corporate geographic location on over-investment

  This paper aims to shed light on the effect of a firms geographic location on its over-investment by using different location variables based on a sample of 1936 Chinese listed firms spanning from 2007 to 2016.We find that remotely located firms have higher level of over-investment.Remotely located firms with more free cash flow face severer over-investment problem.In further research,we examine whether institutional investors can mitigate remote firms over-investment.However,we find that institutional investors have no governance effect on remote firms over-investment.
