We find that green bond issuers are more financially constrained. We use three measures of financial constraint, which are the FCP index, the SA index, and the Altman’s Z score. We test the link between green bond issuance and financial constraints using difference in means, regression analyses and a matching procedure. We finally document that these constraints increase after the first green bond issuance.
