Abstract
This paper examines the impact of supply chain ESG on non-financial corporate shadow banking using data on Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2022. We find that improved supply chain ESG performance effectively inhibits non-financial corporate shadow banking. Mechanism tests indicate that supply chain ESG enhances information transparency, encourages entity investment and alleviates financial constraints. In addition, the negative effect is more pronounced in more marketized regions. Overall, this paper approaches shadow banking from a brand-new perspective that integrates supply chain and ESG.
