主 题：Does Supply Chain Vertical Integration Reduce Corporate Debt Financing Costs
摘 要： By leveraging the Chinese Input-Output Table, we apply Python software to identify a focal firm’s supply chain upstream and downstream relationships. Our findings suggest that when a focal firm invests in or acquires its upstream supply chain companies, the debt financing costs are less. Channel analysis demonstrates that supply chain vertical integration can reduce corporate debt financing costs through the channel of mitigating operational risk and alleviating information asymmetry. Additional analysis shows that the effect of supply chain vertical integration on corporate debt financing costs is more salient when companies are non-state-owned, operate in competitive industries, and are located in regions with lower levels of marketization.
