Abstract
As the main body of R&D, enterprises play an important role in breaking through key technologies, however, the improvement of enterprise innovation level is affected by many factors, and investor's attention is one of them. This paper selects the data of listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2011 to 2018 to empirically test the impact of investor attention on corporate innovation, and introduces the moderating variable of internal control disclosure to explore the moderating role of internal control disclosure. It then discusses the differences in the role of investor attention on corporate innovation between state-controlled and private enterprises. The results show that investor concern has a positive facilitating effect on corporate innovation; internal control disclosure positively moderates the relationship between investor concern and corporate innovation; and investor concern has a greater impact on innovation in private firms than in state-owned firms in different property ownership subgroups. This paper enriches the literature research in the field of investor concern, and also provides a new perspective for the exploration of the path of corporate innovation in China.
