🔎 Why do firms benefit from political connections? Three mechanisms explain the results:
1️⃣ Signal Mechanism: politician connections enhance a firm’s reputation, improving credit ratings.
2️⃣ Management Quality: politicians bring leadership skills & experience, boosting firm performance.
3️⃣ Direct Influence: connected firms receive more subsidies & government contracts.
