- Asset quality refers to the sum of all the characteristics and characteristics of assets, and the ability to bring economic benefits to asset owners during the operation of assets. We can understand asset quality from the following aspects: first, asset quality is a set of inherent characteristics; second, these inherent characteristics are characteristics that can bring economic benefits to asset ownership; third, these inherent characteristics are Attributes formed during the acquisition, management and sale of assets. Correspondingly, we have classified and summarized the characteristics of asset quality according to the concept of asset quality. The analysis of asset quality characteristics from a financial perspective mainly includes: the essential characteristics of assets-profitability; quality characteristics (material characteristics)-existence, structure Performance, liquidity; and time characteristics-advanced nature, effectiveness. Based on the explanation of China's institutional background and the theoretical analysis of capital structure, this article proposes five hypotheses. Based on the sample of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2001 to 2005, these hypotheses are tested and the corresponding conclusions are drawn: First, capital The structure is significantly negatively related to the value of the company, which is mainly reflected in state-controlled listed companies. According to the trade-off theory, agency theory, signal theory, and control theory, debt financing can reduce agency costs, pass on company quality, and increase company value. Therefore, in theory, there should be a positive correlation between the asset-liability ratio, the debt financing ratio, and the enterprise value. Due to the "big one share" among Chinese listed companies and the imperfect bond market, most of the company's loans originate from financial institutions such as banks. [1]
