Abstract: This work examines the impact of economic policy uncertainty on the systemic risk of Chinese real firms from the perspectives of financing constraints and external guarantees. The findings suggest that economic policy uncertainty significantly enhances the systemic risk of real firms. The mechanism test shows that economic policy uncertainty will enhance the level of systemic risk of enterprises by exacerbating their financing constraints and expanding the scale of external guarantees. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the negative impact of economic policy uncertainty on systemic risk is more obvious in enterprises with investment and financing maturity mismatches and poorer corporate governance.
