题目:Interest Rate Liberalization and Capital Allocation

摘要:We study consequences of removing interest rate controls in a two-sector model of China. The key frictions include (1) interest rate controls so that deposit rates differ from lending rates, (2) an agency problem specific to state-owned firms (SOEs), and (3) borrowing constraints and more favorable access to credit by SOEs than private firms. If (2) and (3) remain in place, we show that interest rate liberalization can lead to misallocation of capital across sectors, while improving allocations within each sector. The net effects depend on parameter calibration. When the model is calibrated to Chinese data, we find that the net effect of interest-rate liberalization is to reduce TFP and welfare. However, if either (2) or (3) (or both) is corrected, interest-rate liberalization would be welfare improving.
