Unlike previous studies focus on either the objective level of climate risks or the subjective perception for such risk, we quantify the difference between the objective level and subjective perception of climate risk and define as CEOs’ climate risk perception bias, and further explore the impact of the bias on the corporate debt structure. The empirical results reveal several key findings. First, the baseline regression results indicate that an increase in CEOs’ climate risk perception bias is positively associated with debt concentration, while simultaneously leading to a reduction in the number of debt instruments. Robustness checks confirm the stability of these findings across various model specifications and sample sets, enhancing the reliability of the observed relationships. Additionally, heterogeneity tests show that the significant effects of climate risk perception bias on debt structure are primarily present in firms with a proper understanding of climate risks, while those that underestimate or overstate such risks display non-significant changes. Mechanistically, our analysis highlights that CEOs’ climate risk perception bias significantly reduce R&D expenditures, reflecting a trade-off between immediate financial stability and long-term innovation potential. Furthermore, heightened perception biases correlate with decreased risk tolerance and increased financial constraints, limiting firms’ flexibility in adapting to changing market conditions. These findings emphasize the need for accurate climate risk assessments to inform corporate financial strategies. Policymakers should facilitate access to diverse financing options to help companies manage climate-related uncertainties while maintaining financial flexibility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Money and Finance","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 103254"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143104300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, faced with the growing frequency of extreme weather and external shocks, the stable operation of the green finance market is under pressure and challenge. Given the high-dimensional nature and the variation of financial risk contagion across different time scales, this paper introduces the HD-TVPVAR-BK (high-dimensional time-varying frequency domain) spillover index model to analyze the risk spillover among major financial institutions within China’s green finance market under different investment horizons. Moreover, a GARCH-MIDAS-EC mixed-frequency model is constructed to explore the multi-horizon driving impact of extreme climate on the risk spillover of the green finance market. The results show that short-term risk spillovers are the main contributors to risk contagion among financial institutions in the green finance market, far exceeding the risk spillover in the long term, and the risk spillover in the short-term is more significant in the face of external shocks, indicating a stronger immediate market response to exogenous events. Extreme weather is an important catalyst exacerbating risk spillover in the green finance market, with a more prominent impact on short-term investment horizons. Different extreme climate conditions have varying impacts on risk spillovers in the green finance market, with the long-term effects of extreme precipitation being more profound compared to extreme low temperatures and high temperatures. The results of this paper reveal for the first time the impact of different climatic conditions on cross-term risk contagion in the green finance market, providing new evidence for the effective prevention of extreme weather shocks to the financial market.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Money and Finance","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 103262"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143170951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It utilizes data of U.S. listed firms from 2014 to 2022 and employs a difference-in-differences model for analysis. The baseline estimation finds that U.S. firms tend to establish supply chain relations with third country firms deeply integrated into Chinese supply chain after 2018. Mechanism analysis shows that after trade frictions occur, U.S. firms choose to maintain indirect supply chain connections with China through third countries based on considerations of procedural costs, financial costs, and relational costs. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that U.S. firms in industries directly affected by trade frictions or in industries where China has supply chain advantages are inclined to make such adjustments, tending to engage in indirect cooperation with Chinese firms through third-country firms that have pre-existing supply chain collaborations with Chinese firms. Extended analysis examines the supply chain adjustments of other countries or regions after the trade frictions. We find that Chinese firms increase their supply chain connections with third countries and increase green-field investment in these countries. U.S. allies also adjust their supply chains like the U.S., while non-U.S. allies do not make any adjustments. Hence, the paper believes that the “decoupling” strategy may be difficult to achieve, and trade restrictions only lead to U.S. firms maintaining indirect relations with China through third countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Money and Finance","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 103256"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143170955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
