Abstract

This study examines the impact of U.S. uncertainties, as indicated by the Macroeconomic Uncertainty Index (MU), Financial Uncertainty Index (FU), and Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (EPU), on the systemic tail risk within Chinese enterprises. Our findings reveal a significant positive relationship between U.S. uncertainties and systemic tail risk of Chinese enterprises. Additionally, this relationship is mediated through two main transmission channels—investor sentiment and financing constraints.
