Analysis of Investment Efficiency in Automotive Manufacturing Enterprises

Zengxin Xie

Abstract


This study takes Chinese automobile manufacturing enterprises as the research subject and employs the Richardson model to conduct an empirical analysis of their investment efficiency. The findings reveal that from 2019 to 2023, underinvestment was widespread in
China's automotive manufacturing sector, with 59% of the sample firms exhibiting underinvestment, averaging 0.027higher than both the
proportion and extent of overinvestment. This phenomenon is primarily influenced by declining revenue and profits, financing constraints,
and rising costs. To improve investment efficiency, it is recommended to broaden financing channels, refine investment decision-making processes, establish risk management mechanisms, and increase innovative investments.
