This study investigates the effects of cross-listing on the value of cash holdings through financial constraints and agency problems. Using a sample of Chinese cross-listed firms from 2006 to 2013, we find that in consideration of financial constraints, cash holdings is less valuable for cross-listed firms than for non-cross-listed firms. More importantly, the decrease is more pronounced in non-SOEs than in SOEs. Consistent with bonding hypothesis, when we take agency problems into consideration, we find that the value of cash holdings is higher for cross-listed-firms than for non-cross-listed firms suggesting that cross-listing effect increases the value of cash holdings through reducing agency problems. Moreover, this effect is more pronounced in SOEs than in non-SOEs. Finally, we find that the effect of reducing financial constraints dominates the effect of reducing agency problems in non-SOEs.
