报告介绍：Drawing on resource dependence theory, we argue that foreign institutional investors can alleviate their exposure to environmental uncertainty in the United States by influencing their U.S. portfolio firms to increase corporate political spending (CPS). We refine resource dependency claims by identifying key boundary conditions that qualify the domestic uncertainty dependency. In particular, we maintain that the extent of foreign influence is contingent on the level of international diversification and domestic market uncertainty that these U.S. firms are subject to. Using a sample of 5,674 U.S. firms between 2000 to 2013, we find empirical support for our arguments. This study advances ownership and non-market strategies research by demonstrating that foreign institutional investors can reduce their external dependence indirectly by influencing their portfolio firms’ CPS.
