　　讲座摘要：We examine whether and how foreign bank entry affects stock price crash risk by exploring unique regulatory changes in China as staggered quasi-exogenous shocks. We find that the likelihood of stock price crashes decreases significantly following the opening-up of the domestic banking system to foreign banks, which enormously extends firms’ accessibility to foreign bank loans. Moreover, the effects are more pronounced in firms with higher ex-ante financial distress risk. Consistent with the financial distress channel rather than the external monitoring channel, our findings suggest that foreign bank entry mitigates the default risks in domestic capital market by catering for the shortage of bank loans and abates the tendency of extreme bad events. Our study highlights the importance of bank reforms incur tailing tail risks on the financial markets.
