该研究探讨了供应链透明化（SCT）如何影响企业获得融资。基于信号理论，研究提出并发现：通过披露主要供应商和客户的信息提升企业的供应链透明度，可以促进企业的银行贷款融资，但会抑制企业的供应链融资。此外，供应商集中度会削弱SCT对银行贷款融资的积极作用以及SCT对供应链融资的消极作用；客户集中度则会增强SCT对银行贷款融资的积极作用以及SCT对供应链融资的消极作用。这些发现在竞争激烈的行业中更为明显。该研究为供应链透明度相关文献做出了贡献，并为企业如何利用供应链名单披露获得融资提供了实践指导。该研究得到了国家自然科学基金项目的资助（批准号：72310107001，72201187）。

This study explores how supply chain transparency (SCT) influences a firm’s access to financing. Based on signaling theory, the research proposes and reveals that enhancing SCT by disclosing major suppliers and customers can facilitate bank loan financing (BL) for firms but hinder supply chain financing (SCF). Additionally, supplier concentration weakens SCT’s positive impact on BL while reducing its adverse effects on SCF;customer concentration strengthens the positive impact of SCT on BL but intensifies its negative effect on SCF. These findings are more pronounced in highly competitive industries. This research contributes novel knowledge to the supply chain transparency literature and provides practical guidance on leveraging supply chain list disclosure to obtain financing.This research is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 72310107001 and 72201187).
