Overview

Econometric analysis reveals reduced trade credit from suppliers in firms facing high biodiversity risk, highlighting ecological threats to corporate liquidity.

Key Points

To investigate the extent to which corporate exposure to biodiversity risk impacts trade credit extended by suppliers and evaluate how market competition and public awareness moderate this effect.
Applied empirical econometric modeling to estimate the relationship between firm-level biodiversity risk exposure and trade credit granted by suppliers while controlling for endogeneity.
Conducted heterogeneity subsample tests stratified by degree of market competitive pressure and level of corporate public visibility.
Firms exposed to higher biodiversity risk experience a significant reduction in trade credit received from suppliers.
The curtailment of trade credit is significantly stronger among firms operating in highly competitive markets and those with lower public awareness.
