Abstract

The development of small and medium-sized enterprises is of great significance to the growth of the national economy. The efficiency of debt financing reflects the efficiency of enterprises' comprehensive utilization of debt funds, and is an important indicator to reflect the operation and development of enterprises. Taking Chinese listed SMEs as a sample, this paper measures the efficiency of corporate debt financing through the traditional DEA model and the Malmquist index model, then constructs a Tobit model to empirically analyze the factors that affect the efficiency of debt financing. The research shows that: the overall debt financing efficiency of SMEs is low, and pure technical inefficiency is the main reason for restricting the efficiency of debt financing. The solvency, operating ability, profitability, growth ability and R&D investment of SMEs have a significant positive impact on debt financing efficiency, while enterprise scale, debt financing amount and equity concentration have a significant negative impact on debt financing efficiency.
