Abstract
This study explores the relationship between corporate governance and stock liquidity of Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Our findings reveal a nonlinear (U-shaped) relationship between the overall quality of corporate governance and stock liquidity, implying that, unlike large-sized listed firms, SMEs cannot monotonically increase liquidity through improved corporate governance. After examining the sub-indicators individually, we find that the percentage of institutional shareholdings is the main driver of this U-shaped relationship. The nonlinear relationship between institutional shareholdings and stock liquidity suggests that continuously enhancing corporate governance may reduce stock liquidity, posing challenges for SMEs in securing financing.
