论文分析风险投资(简称风投)选择被投资公司的影响因素、风投持股比例和质量对IPO公司董事会规模和结构的影响。论文以2004-2011年在深圳证券交易所中小板的IPO公司为初始样本，采用倾向评分匹配法为有风投支持公司匹配了一组没有风投支持的公司，共同形成本文的样本。研究结果表明，风投倾向于选择CEO持股比例高、CEO学历在本科以上、销售增长快、董事会规模大的公司。同时，风投持股比例和IPO公司董事会规模显著正相关，表明风投有参与IPO公司治理的动机，并通过进入公司董事会得以实现；风投持股比例和IPO公司董事会独立性正相关，但不显著，表明风投发挥监督作用的能力有限。进一步的研究表明高质量风投支持的IPO公司有较大的董事会规模，但高质量风投并不显著提高董事会独立性。研究丰富了有关我国风投和IPO公司治理的文献，同时为我国监管层、IPO公司提供了决策支持。%This study empirically tests the determinants of venture capitals ( VCs ) to choose investee companies and their impacts on the size and independence of IPO companies’ board. Based on the companies that were listed in the small and middle-sized enterprise board during 2004-2011, we adopt propensity score matching method to match the companies backed by VCs with these without VCs. Based on the two groups of companies, we find that VCs are more likely to choose companies with higher percentage of CEOs’ ownership, CEOs having higher academic degrees, higher sales growth, and larger board size. Meanwhile, we find that VCs’ ownership is positively and significantly related to board size, which shows that VCs have motivations to play their role in the corporate governance of IPO companies, and achieve their objectives through being board members. However, VCs’ ownership has a positive but not significant rela-tionship with board independence, which indicates that VCs’ monitoring role in corporate governance is limited. Further tests show that IPO companies backed by high quality VCs have larger board size, while high quality VCs do not have a significant impact on board independence. Our study enriches the literature on Chinese venture capitals and corporate governance of IPO companies and provides supports for China’s regulators and IPO companies to make their decisions.
