Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the impact of air pollution index volatility on firm financing patterns by conducting an analysis of non-financial sector enterprises of 6 Asian economies.
Methodology: To achieve the objective of our study, we employed a two-step system, the Generalized Method of Moment, to establish the regression among the variables.
Findings: The results of the estimated technique in our analysis shed light on an issue that the highly polluted firms confront environmental violation risk, urging financial institutions and stakeholders to incorporate carbon-related hazards into their investing and lending decisions. As a result, firms face tougher terms and conditions when raising funds by using both debt and equity financing. Therefore, the current analysis documents an adverse impact of the environmental pollution index on both debt and equity financing.
Implications: The findings in our analysis infer that corporate managers should consider the consequences and sensitivity of the rising air pollution index in their decision-making to ensure sustainability in financing policies.
Novelty: This research introduces new insights into the real effects of environmental pollution on firm financing patterns by introducing new arrangements of the variables.
This research relies on decision sciences fundamentals by exploring the impact of air pollution on firm financing patterns. Decision sciences intend to improve the procedures of decision-making. Moreover, our work seeks to expand such processes in the context of healthy financing decisions under high environmental hazards.
