摘要: 基于2012—2022年我国A股上市公司面板数据,检验了企业ESG表现对债务融资成本的影响。结果表明:(1)企业ESG表现的提高有助于降低其债务融资成本,且通过稳健性检验以及内生性检验后结果仍然成立;(2)中介检验显示企业ESG表现通过提高企业声誉、降低融资约束来降低债务融资成本;(3)通过异质性分析得出非国有企业和中东部地区企业的ESG表现对债务融资成本的降低效应更为明显。根据结果,呼吁企业积极加强ESG实践,完善ESG信息披露;政府及有关部门应完善ESG披露制度,做好监督和引导;投资者在关注财务指标的同时应注意到企业ESG实践以降低投资风险。

关键词: ESG表现, 债务融资成本, 企业声誉, 融资约束

Abstract: Based on the panel data of China’s A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2022, the impact of corporate ESG performance on debt financing cost is empirically investigated, and the results show that: (1) The improvement of corporate ESG performance helps to reduce its debt financing cost, and the results are still valid through the robustness test as well as the endogeneity test; (2) The mediation test shows that corporate ESG performance reduces debt financing cost by improving corporate reputation, reduce financing constraints to reduce debt financing costs; (3) The heterogeneity analysis concludes that the ESG performance of non-state-owned enterprises and enterprises in the central and eastern regions has a more obvious effect on the reduction of debt financing costs. The results call for enterprises to actively strengthen ESG practices and improve ESG disclosure; The government and regulatory authorities should improve ESG disclosure system and do a good job in monitoring and guiding; Investors should pay attention to the ESG practices of enterprises while focusing on financial indicators in order to reduce investment risks.
