Abstract Since China launched its ‘Go Global’ policy, there is a magnificent trend of Chinese firms conducting foreign direct investment. But Chinese firms face severe financial constraints with undeveloped financial market. So as an important source of firm heterogeneity, do financial constraints have significant effect on Chinese Firms’ Outward FDI Behavior? Through detail theory and empirical analysis under micro perspective, we show that: Chinese firms generally face financial constraints when they invest abroad; for firms in highly dependent on external financing industry, this effect is more severe; but for firms with productivity advantage, the negative effect will be less severe.
