Abstract
Using data from the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Interbank Dealers Association, and National Development and Reform Commission spanning 2014–2022 as well as the difference-in-difference technique, this study examines the transmission effect of real estate risk events on municipal bond spreads. Findings reveal that municipal investment bond spreads in risk-sensitive areas increase significantly after a real estate risk event. However, this impact is mitigated by strengthening the government's guarantee ability. Furthermore, this study highlights that real estate risk events have a greater impact on low-credit-rated municipal investment bonds than on high-credit-rated ones, with potential implications for financial market stability and government credit.
