Guest Lecture by Katarzyna Burzynska on Network Structure and Credit Access: Evidence from China s Listed Companies
Abstract
This paper studies the relation between firm specific networks of creditors and corporate access to bank loans in China. The empirical analysis builds on network data constructed from bank shareholding information and loan announcements of publicly listed corporations during the period from 2007 to 2012 and covers in total 1915 firm-year observations. The results show that firms with highly constrained banking networks have better access to credit than firms with less constrained networks. This effect is most pronounced in regions where formal financial institutions are weak. These findings suggest that highly constrained lending networks play a significant role in mitigating the problem of information asymmetry and adverse selection in China’s credit market.
