Single-bank or multiple-bank relationship can play a role in the degree of corporate risk-taking that inspires financing decisions. We study whether or not the magnitude of corporate risk-taking is associated with bank relationship. We employ the public firms in Taiwan with the sample period from 2001 to 2005 and select three variables centered on earnings volatility and share price volatility as the proxies for corporate risk-taking. The empirical evidence suggests that multiple-bank relationship can drive firms to take higher risks under information asymmetry between banks and firms. The results remain unchanged even after controlling for the main-bank effect. Finally, we observe that firms with smaller size and higher growth opportunity tend to enhance the degree of corporate risk-taking as they develop multiple-bank relationship.
