The impact of shadow banking products on firm and bank performance in China
My PhD aims to ascertain the impact of shadow banking products on firm and bank performance. I aim to determine the types of firms that obtain loans from these non-bank institutions, as well as the impact they have on firm risk, productivity, and real impact in terms of investment and employment. I also investigate whether shadow banking products cause banks to lend more to under-performing firms, leading to increased risk levels at firm and bank level. Increased bank liquidity due to the proliferation of shadow products could lead to moral hazard problems when making bank lending decisions.
