Abstract: "The present study investigates the link between CEO political connections and bank misconduct in China. We identify a resilient inverse relation. We explore this relationship through three distinct channels: (1) regulatory capture, (2) limits on risk-taking, and (3) enhanced board scrutiny and compliance. Findings offer strong support for the regulatory capture channel. We add novelty to the separate literature on political connections and regulatory sanctions. First, we add context and shed new light on the mechanisms through which bank penalties and fines arise in China. Second, we extend the analysis of Chinese CEO political connections to an unexplored application."
