Abstract

The purpose of this present study is to assess how climate risk mitigates the positive incidence of the female gender CEO on credit access. Using the Climate Physical Risk Index (CPRI), we perform an empirical analysis on firm-level data from over 38500 firms in 130 countries observed over the period 2006-2020. We find that women entrepreneurs are more constrained in accessing credit when climate risk is high. Furthermore, we show that this negative effect manifests itself both in lower loan demand on the part of firms and in rationing of credit supply. Female CEOs promote access to credit while climate risk mitigates the underlying positive incidence. Avoidable climate risk thresholds in order to maintain the positive effect of female COEs on access to credit are provided. Our results remain robust to a plethora of tests. Policy implications are discussed.
