Abstract

Abstract This study examines the impact of supply chain concentration on a firm's financing costs. We show purchasing firms with multiple supplier relationships are subject to higher information asymmetry and cost of equity. This effect is more pronounced when the supplier's financial performance deteriorates. We also find that lower supply chain concentration increases a firm's cost of debt. We believe that the purchaser's supply chain represents a source of material private information and that investors require a higher rate of return as compensation for increased information asymmetry. Our results are robust to combining the suppliers producing similar output and endogeneity issues.

供应链集中度与资金成本

摘要本研究探讨供应链集中度对企业融资成本的影响。我们表明，拥有多个供应商关系的采购公司受到更高的信息不对称和股权成本的影响。当供应商的财务业绩恶化时，这种影响更为明显。我们还发现，较低的供应链集中度会增加企业的债务成本。我们认为，买方的供应链代表了重要私人信息的来源，投资者需要更高的回报率，作为对信息不对称增加的补偿。我们的结果是稳健的结合供应商生产相似的产出和内生性问题。
