Abstract: Abstract Using data over the 2008–2015 period, we examine the impact of financial development on the performance of publicly traded cultural and creative firms in China. Our results show that financial development, especially credit market growth, is associated with the improved performance of publicly traded cultural and creative firms. We also find that financial development exhibits differential impacts across the regions in China. Amongst financing channels, bank loans in the eastern region and private lending in the central and western regions are more effective in promoting the performance of publicly traded cultural and creative firms. Consequently, our findings have significant policy implications for the funding and financing practices of both financiers and cultural and creative industries. Policy measures that foster financial product innovation, diversify financing channels and ease financial difficulties should be undertaken to achieve sustainable growth in the cultural and creative industries.
