Abstract

Using a weekly panel of loans, income, and expenditure data for 80 million individual business owners (IBOs) in China, we document that in anticipation of future business opportunities, IBOs tend to raise more external credit and exhibit lower current income to consumption passthrough. These patterns are not consistent with standard consumption-saving behaviors but can be rationalized by a model of entrepreneurs facing working capital constraints. Based on such a model estimated to these patterns, we evaluate the importance of self vs. external finance in explaining the rapid growth of IBOs during 2018-2020 and the role of credit support in stabilizing their income and consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic.
