Abstract
We investigate the impact of a green credit policy (GCP) on the bankruptcy risk of heavily polluting enterprises (HPEs). We find that a GCP strengthens the bank supervision of HPEs’ production and management behavior (not limited to environmental behavior), thereby reducing their bankruptcy risk. However, since banks are unlikely to strictly supervise local state-owned enterprises and large firms, the negative correlation between the bankruptcy risk of HPEs and a GCP is weakened for such enterprises and firms. We suggest that a GCP can promote the coordinated development of the economy and the environment.
