Abstract

This paper examines how supply network structure affects financial stability, specifically for systemic tail risks in capital markets. We construct supply networks using data from the top five clients and suppliers disclosed in the annual reports of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2022, and measures node-level supply network structure. Our findings indicate that improved supply network structure reduces firms’ systemic tail risks, primarily through information efficiency and risk diversification mechanisms. The effect is more pronounced with heightened analyst and media attention, superior corporate disclosures, closer proximity to clients or suppliers, and fewer financial constraints. This study provides insights into building resilient supply chains and mitigating financial risks.
