Abstract: Using regulatory shocks on the eligibility to issue seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) in China, we find that over the two-to-three years following the infusion of external capital through SEOs, firms increase expenditures on technology-related tangible- and intangible assets, decrease (increase) low (high) skill workers. On average, the decrease of low skill workers outnumbers the increase of high skill workers, resulting in a net decline in firm-level employment. The decline in employment is greater among firms that invest more in technology following SEOs. Within-firm average wages increase because of the higher skill composition of employees, but total wages remain unchanged because of fewer employees remaining after SEOs. Finally, SEOs substantially increase firm profitability and productivity, suggesting the changes to the inputs of production, namely, a smaller and higher skilled workforce using newer technology, enhance firm performance. To interpret these findings, we provide a simple model wherein SEOs affect firm performance when financially constrained firms have opportunities to adopt productivity-improving technologies.
