Abstract：
In this paper, we study banking competition in the presence of shadow money. Investors choose between insured deposits and uninsured off-balance sheet shadow money while banks compete for investors in setting the corresponding interest rates and default endogenously. Our approach allows to quantitatively examine the benefits and risks inherent in shadow money across time and states. We calibrate our model to the Chinese banking sector data using wealth management products (WMPs) as proxy for shadow money. Banks value implicit government guarantee that earn premium, which incentives banks to create more shadow money. As a result of supply of credit it boosts economy but it builds up financial fragility that potentially harms economy. Some of the bad equilibria leads to severe financial distress and causes large welfare loss. Further, we show that banks are more fragile if adjusting rates on shadow money is costly and that imposing capital requirements on shadow money is not a viable policy to enhance stability.
