چکیده
این مطالعه تاثیر عوامل نهادی را بر مدیریت سرمایه در گردش برای نمونه ای از 5431 شرکت اروپایی در دوره 2010-2010 بررسی می کند. با استفاده از روش حداقل مربعات وزنی (WLS)، ما شواهد تجربی در مورد نقش کیفیت نهادی در شکلدهی سیاستهای سرمایه در گردش شرکتهای فهرست شده اروپایی ارائه میکنیم. نتایج نشان میدهد که شرکتهای مستقر در کشورهایی با چارچوب نهادی قویتر به طور متوسط سطوح پایینتری از سرمایه در گردش را حفظ میکنند. نتایج برای زیر نمونه های مختلف شرکت ها قوی است. این مطالعه ادبیات موجود را با تجزیه و تحلیل اثرات کیفیت نهادی بر مدیریت سرمایه در گردش، در تعداد زیادی از سیستمهای نهادی مختلف که مختص اقتصادهای توسعهیافته و در حال گذار هستند، تکمیل میکند. نتایج برای شاغلین و سیاست گذاران در درک رابطه بین کیفیت نهادی و تصمیمات کوتاه مدت در سطح شرکت مفید است.

Abstract
The study examines the impact of institutional factors on working capital management for a sample of 5431 European listed firms over the period 2010–2018. Employing a weighted least squares (WLS) methodology, we provide empirical evidence on the role of institutional quality in shaping the working capital policies of European listed firms. The results indicate that firms located in countries with a stronger institutional framework maintain lower levels of working capital on average. The results are robust to different subsamples of firms. The study complements the extant literature by analyzing the effects of institutional quality on working capital management, across a large number of different institutional systems specific to developed and transition economies alike. The results are useful for practitioners and policy makers in understanding the relationship between institutional quality and short-term firm-level decisions.
Introduction
The effects of institutional factors on business activity have been recognized by many researchers (Alam et al., 2019; Marks-Bielska et al., 2020; Stankevice and Jucevicius, 2013). The national institutional systems provide a stable environment for business, with the potential for evolution from short-term competency to long-term visions (Klarin and Ray, 2019). The national institutional systems have been shown to influence cash holdings (Dittmar and Mahrt-Smith, 2007; Kusnadi, 2019; Orlova and Sun, 2018; Pinkowitz et al., 2006) and, respectively, firm performance (Faruq and Weidner, 2018; Fidrmuc et al., 2017; Ghoul et al., 2017; Golgeci et al., 2019 ¨ ).
Conclusions
In this paper, we investigate the impact of institutional quality on working capital management with a sample of 5431 listed firms across 28 EU countries, over the period 2010–2018. At the microeconomic level, the evidence linking institutional quality variables and firm-level financial policies is limited. Firms are the engine of economic growth, so more attention needs to be paid to the impact of institutions on their working capital management. As highlighted in the literature review, this stream of research is still in its infancy.
Hypothesis 1:. A negative relationship exists between property rights and the excess working capital ratio.
Hypothesis 2:. Government integrity is negatively related to the excess working capital ratio.
Hypothesis 3:. At European listed firms, a negative relationship exists between fiscal freedom and the excess working capital ratio.
Hypothesis 4:. Business freedom is negatively related to the excess working capital ratio.
Hypothesis 5:. Monetary freedom is negatively related to the excess working capital ratio.
Hypothesis 6:. Trade freedom is negatively related to the excess working capital ratio.
Hypothesis 7:. Investment freedom is negatively related to the excess working capital ratio.
Hypothesis 8:. Financial freedom is negatively related to the excess working capital ratio.
