Qiyeu Xiong (Wuhan University): Bank characteristics, capital regulation and the transmission of bank lending channel - evidence from China’s banking industry
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the role of the banking sector in the transmission of monetary policy in China. Based on an unbalanced quarterly panel on 27 Chinese banks from 2Q2000 to 4Q2011, we use one-step system GMM method to estimate the structural equations, and find that there exists a bank lending channel in China, the central bank’s monetary policy does affect banks’ lending behaviors; larger banks are less sensitive to monetary policy, bank with better capitalization and liquidity are more likely to adjust their lending behaviors following a change in monetary stance; after the enactment of capital regulation in 2004, the strength of bank lending channel in China has generally been weakened
