Abstract

This paper uses a dynamic copula model to measure compound heat-drought risk and examines its relationship with the issuing spread of China’s municipal corporate bonds. Local government financing vehicles that are more likely to be affected by compound heat-drought risk will pay more costs to issue municipal corporate bonds compared to vehicles unlikely to be affected by compound heat-drought risk. Mechanism analyses find that the compound heat-drought risk damages the solvency of local government financing vehicles and the implicit guarantee ability of local governments. Higher investor attention increases the spread of municipal corporate bonds. We also find that bonds with low credit ratings are more affected by compound heat-drought risk, and environmental actions based on green coverage rates are generally effective in reducing the compound heat-drought risk premium. Furthermore, the compound heat-drought risk has a greater impact on MCBs than extreme heat risk and extreme drought risk.
