ABSTRACT

Financial leasing has been favoured by many listed companies relying on its flexibility, low risk and tax advantages. This paper analyses the motivation of finance leasing of listed companies by collecting the financial report data disclosed by listed companies in Guangdong Province, China, from 2007 to 2019, information from CSMAR database and government planning documents, and selecting indicators in combination with existing research theories, and finally analysing the motivation of finance leasing of listed companies by using Logistic regression and Probit regression. It is found that the debt substitution effect of finance leasing is significant, i.e. there is mutual substitution between finance leasing and borrowing financing. At the same time, we also note that listed companies take finance leasing more for the purpose of short-term capital financing and improving the asset growth rate.
