摘要：
The Chinese government has initiated corporate environmental ratings to curb environmental pollution. We investigate the impact of such ratings as a type of government green grip on corporate debt consequences. We provide solid evidence that government-initiated corporate environmental ratings help environmentally friendly companies obtain more long-term loans and reduce the cost of debt. Lenders view a healthy environment as a signal of good credit; accordingly, they offer greener companies more favorable debt financing terms. The positive effect of government-initiated corporate environmental ratings is magnified by other government greencredit policies and the external financing environment. Overall, this study provides a valuable understanding of government-initiated corporate environmental ratings and corporate financing consequences.
