Endogeneity Test Results for Fiscal Decentralization and Enterprise Innovation, 2015-2023

Empirical results from a moderated mediation model analyzing the impact of fiscal decentralization on enterprise technological innovation. The dataset contains test results from a study using a sample of A-share listed companies in China from 2015 to 2023. It was authored by Jie Tu and last updated on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Testing the 'decentralization inhibition theory' based on the described empirical findings.
• Analyzing the mediating role of local government innovation preference between fiscal decentralization and enterprise innovation.
• Investigating property-right heterogeneity in innovation effects between state-owned and private enterprises.
• Replicating or extending the econometric analysis within the described three-tier principal-agent framework.

Strengths

• Data covers a 9-year time range from 2015 to 2023.
• Results are derived from a sample of A-share listed companies, a specific and defined population.
• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating it likely contains summary test results rather than the underlying raw data.
