摘　　要：本文通过模型模拟和基于中国数据的实证检验,分析了环境灾害损失冲击对于银行违约率的影响。本文模型模拟的结果显示,环境灾害冲击会显著提升银行体系的违约率水平,同时伴随着企业融资溢价水平的提升以及整个经济活动的萎缩;实证研究发现:环境灾害损失冲击会导致银行违约率水平显著提升。且与理论分析一致,本文实证发现宏观经济不确定性水平、企业的资本折损以及全要素生产率的下降在环境灾害影响银行违约率的过程中发挥了显著的传导作用。进一步研究发现,环境灾害冲击及其导致的银行违约率上升还会降低银行的风险偏好水平,降低放贷规模和主动风险承担,并反作用于实体企业,提升企业的融资约束和成本。本文的研究结论丰富了基于中国视角的环境物理风险研究,刻画了环境灾害损失对于银行风险的影响及其后续效应,为政策部门防范气候环境风险提供了借鉴。China has experienced frequent environmental disasters with huge negative impacts on economic and social development.The real economy and financial sector are becoming more closely aligned,and the impact of environmental disasters on the real economy will inevitably be transmitted to the financial system and institutions,affecting financial stability,generating financial risks,and generally amplifying the negative impact of environmental disasters.From the perspective of physical risk,this paper discusses the actual impact of environmental disasters on banks'default risk through dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model simulations and empirical tests using data from China's banking institutions from 2008 to 2018.This article's main contributions are as follows:First,it is one of the first theoretical and empirical studies on China's environmental risks.Second,in terms of research methods,this article simultaneously introduces disaster shock factors and the financial friction mechanism,highlighting the amplification effect of the financial accelerator mechanism on the impact of disaster shocks.Further,this article examines the impact of disaster shocks on relevant economic and financial indicators,including bank default rates.In terms of empirical research,this article uses the entropy method to construct environmental disaster loss indicators on multiple dimensions,providing empirical evidence from China of environmental risks.Third,the theoretical and empirical tests not only support the existence of environmental risks but also further analyze and explore a series of derivative consequences of environmental disasters on banks'default rates,including the impact on corporate financing constraints and banks'willingness to lend.This enriches the research perspectives on topics such as financing constraints and bank liquidity creation.The simulation results of the theoretical model show that environmental disasters significantly increase the default rate of bank credit contracts.This leads to higher risk premium
