Risk spillover effect of resident leverage on corporate debt

Abstract

Using panel data from 2008 to 2019, this study analyzes the risk spillover effect of resident leverage on the corporate sector. Thus, the results indicate that increasing resident leverage does not create a more favorable macroeconomic environment for an enterprise to deleverage. Instead, it worsens the debt risk of the enterprise through mechanisms such as weakening corporate solvency, changing the corporate debt maturity structure, and enhancing the financial trend.
