摘要:
The finance–growth nexus has been a central question in understanding the unprecedented success of the Chinese economy. With unique data on all the registered firms in China, we build extensive ownership networks, reflecting firm-to-firm equity investment relationships, and show that thesenetworks have been expanding rapidly since the 2000s, with more than five million firms in at least one network by 2017. Entering a network and increasing network centrality leads to higher firm growth. The effect of global centralities tends to persist and strengthen over time. Such positive network effects are more pronounced for high productivity and privately owned firms. The RMB 4 trillion stimulus, mostly in the form of newly issued bank loans and launched by the Chinese government in November 2008 in response to the global financial crisis, partially ‘crowded out’ the positive network effects. Our analysis suggests that equity ownership networks and bank credit tend to act as substitutes for state-owned enterprises, but as complements for privately owned firms in promoting growth.

摘要:
This paper explores a quasi-experiment in China that provides a selected group of people with better social welfare protection in multifaceted aspects, to examine how family background and the social welfare level affect people's relative performance under competitive pressure separately. Our setting is the China's National College Entrance Exam (CEE), widely regarded as the world's most competitive exam. In terms of people's relative performance on high-stakes CEE vs. low-stakes mock examinations held three months earlier, male students from poor families are comparable to their counterparts from higher-income ones. Moreover, with the improved social welfare level, male students significantly over-perform in the high-stakes settings whereas female students are not affected. These effects are more pronounced for students for whom the social welfare matters more in present or in the future and the insignificant welfare impact on girls is caused by the economic incentives generated by patrilocality.

摘要:
Solar loans are increasingly used to promote residential solar photovoltaic expansion. However, a critical problem with financing residential solar energy is the high default rate. This paper studies the psychological effects of sunshine on borrowers’ repayment behaviors. Using administrative datasets from China, we show that borrowers are 20.8 percent less likely to be delinquent if the sunshine duration is one standard deviation longer in the week of repayment deadline. The evidence is most consistent with behavioral bias that borrowers mispredict future revenue based on the current weather conditions. Other explanations such as intertemporal substitution, liquidity constraints, strategic default, or moods are less consistent with the evidence. Furthermore, borrowers partially learn from past experiences. We highlight the importance of psychological factors in loan design, particularly in the renewable energy sector.

摘要:
We study the efficiency properties of aggregate investment fluctuations in a continuoustime dynamic contract setting. An increase in aggregate investment demand increases the price of capital goods, which, in tum, aggravates the moral hazard problem. We show that the optimal competitive contract between households and financial intermediaries results in socially excessive investment during expansions and insufficient investment during recessions. We analytically characterize the optimal prudential policy and show that the fluctuations in aggregate productivity is the driver for two-sided inefficiencies over investment cycles.

摘要:
With overlapping generations and heterogeneous risk aversion there is no unique relation between aggregate risk aversion and the real rate of interest, and this type of endogenous noise cannot arise in an economy where agents live forever. Our framework accommodates many agent types and the noise emerges precisely because all (but one) consumption shares drive the economy. Adding wealth dispersion to aggregate risk aversion sufficiently summarizes the rich dynamics of the model. Consistent with the model, we construct level and slope factors that do not require knowledge about agents' risk aversion to predict excess returns.

摘要:
As machines play a more and more important role in modern financial markets, how are the patterns of asset prices impacted? We shed light on this issue by investigating the effect of increased machine readership, proxied by machine downloads on EDGAR, on prominent equity return anomalies. We find that the average returns of anomalies constructed using stocks with more machine downloads are much lower, which cannot be explained by alternative theories. The impact of machine downloads increases over time and is stronger when human investors have more biased expectations. The better processing of information and faster trading jointly contribute to the effect of machine downloads. Also, our findings are more consistent with the mispricing theory than risk compensation theory. Overall, our work uncovers the important role of machine downloads on improving the market efficiency.

摘要:
Facial information is essential in daily life but relatively little is known about whether seeing a face improves people’s decision quality. This experimental paper studies the loan approval decisions based on the historical cash loan data with real repayment outcomes, and exogenously varies whether and how a borrower’s facial information is provided. We find that facial information does not improve subjects’ decisions, despite the fact that it can predict repayment behavior in a machine learning algorithm. This is because subjects have various biases in evaluating facial photos; and they rely excessively on facial information in making the loan approval decisions.
