Abstract
This study examines nonfinancial Chinese firms listed on the A-share market that held at least a 5 % stake in financial institutions between 2012 and 2022. It explores the impact of industry–finance integration on corporate risk-taking levels. Findings indicate that adopting an integrated production and finance strategy increases firms’ risk-taking capacity. Moreover, this integration helps alleviate financing constraints, further amplifying their willingness to take risks. Notably, the positive effect of industry–finance integration on risk-taking is particularly evident among nonstate-owned enterprises.
