This paper empirically tests the impact of the succession of family businesses on corporate innovation investments and examines the two different types of political resources, political connection and state ownership, in the moderating role of the relationship between succession and enterprise innovation investments. The results show succession hinders the innovation investment of family firms, and political connection has a negative moderating effect on the relationship, while state ownership has a positive moderating effect. Further research shows that in areas with poor institutional environment, the negative adjustment effect of political connections is more significant, and in areas with better institutional environment, the positive adjustment effect of state ownership is more significant.

This paper explores the relationship between various forms of political capital and the private equity placement of publicly listed PSEs. The results show that the political capital of PSEs can significantly affect PEP in the processing time, approval results and scale of financing. Specifically, implicit political capital can significantly shorten the processing time, but cannot significantly affect the approval results; however, both partial state ownership and political participation can significantly increase the approval rating. Moreover, partial state ownership has the most powerful effect on the scale of financing. In addition, the analysis of the impact of different levels of entrepreneurs' political identity on PEP applications reveal that as the level of political identity increases, the PEP approval rate is higher.
