讲座内容简介:  

We analyze the effects on Chinese firms of the ``China Connect equity market liberalization. Because China is a capital abundant country, unlike the typical emerging market examined in the literature, the expected benefits and costs of liberalization may logically be different. Nonetheless, the liberalization brought benefits in the form of lower funding costs, higher stock prices, and more investment for connected firms compared to unconnected firms, despite a common negative effect on all Chinese firms from capital outflows. However, these benefits come from a new channel: reducing domestic credit misallocation between private- and state-owned enterprises. We also document costs of liberalization in that connected firms became more sensitive to external shocks than unconnected firms.
