Spillover effects of short selling on corporate bond financing costs: Evidence from Chinese listed firms
This study examines the impact of short selling on corporate bond financing costs. Using a quasi-natural experiment and panel data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2022, we find that short selling significantly reduces corporate bond financing costs, primarily by mitigating information asymmetry. Further analysis reveals that this effect is particularly pronounced in regions with well-developed financial markets and strong legal environments. Our findings remain robust after controlling for potential confounders and addressing endogeneity through propensity score matched difference-in-differences (PSM-DID) analysis. This study provides a novel perspective on short selling in China, highlighting its cross-market spillover effects between equity and bond markets.

The intent of the editors is to consolidate Emerging Markets Review as the premier vehicle for publishing high impact empirical and theoretical studies in emerging markets finance. Preference will be given to comparative studies that take global and regional perspectives, detailed single country studies that address critical policy issues and have significant global and regional implications, and papers that address the interactions of national and international financial architecture. We especially welcome papers that take institutional as well as financial perspectives.
