摘要: 随着中国资本市场的迅速发展和上市公司股权的分散化,围绕上市公司控制权的争夺愈演愈烈。在此背景下,有限合伙协议构架成为创始人团队巩固对上市公司控制权的重要手段,并频繁出现在上市公司的股权结构中。基于中国创业板上市公司2012—2021年的数据,从企业创新的视角探讨有限合伙协议构架对企业发展长期影响的实证结果表明,有限合伙协议构架与企业专利申请数量正相关。进一步研究发现,当有限合伙协议构架中的有限合伙企业为员工持股平台时,其对企业创新的促进作用更强。有限合伙协议构架通过降低企业代理成本和提高企业风险承担能力两种机制提升企业创新能力。与中西部地区相比,有限合伙协议构架对企业创新的正向影响在东部地区更显著。上述结论不仅证实有限合伙协议构架对巩固控制权以及促进企业创新的积极作用,还对企业设计股权以及政府管理和完善有限合伙制度提供重要启示。

Abstract: Along with the rapid development of China's capital market and the decentralization of equity ownership in listed companies, the fight for control of these companies has become increasingly fierce. Against this background, the limited partnership agreement framework has become an important means for the founder teams to consolidate their control of the listed companies, and has frequently appeared in the ownership structure of the listed companies. Based on the data from Chinese listed companies on GEM from 2012 to 2021, this study explores the long-term impact of the limited partnership agreement framework on corporate development from the perspective of corporate innovation. The empirical results show that the limited partnership agreement framework is positively correlatedwith the number of corporate patent applications. Further research indicates that when the limited partnership enterprises in the limited partnership agreement framework are employee shareholding platforms, they have a stronger impact on the promotion of corporate innovation. The limited partnership agreement framework can enhance corporate innovation capacity throughthe two mechanisms of reducing enterprise agency costs and improving their risk-bearing capacity. Compared to the central and western regions, the positive impact of limited partnership agreement framework on corporate innovation is stronger in the eastern region. The above-mentioned conclusions not only confirm the positive role of the limited partnership agreement framework in consolidating the control rights in listed companies and promoting corporate innovation, but also provide important enlightenment for enterprises to design ownership rights, and for government to manage and improve the limited partnership systems.

Key words: limited partnership agreement, corporate innovation, agency cost, corporate risk taking, shareholding structure
