Abstract
We examine how economic policy uncertainty (EPU) impacts on Chinese firm’s trade credit. We find a significant negative relationship between EPU and both firm’s account payable (receiving) and account receivable (offering). These results were more pronounced for non-state-owned enterprises, firms located in high marketisation and high trust regions, and survived after the endogeneity tests.
Keywords: economic policy uncertainty; trade credit; China
