Abstract

During the 2015 stock market crisis, the Chinese government used hundreds of billions of dollars to purchase shares directly in the secondary market. We find that compared with non-rescued firms, rescued firms have significantly lower liquidity after being rescued. Policy uncertainty regarding subsequent interventions better explains the reduction in liquidity than the liquidity dry-up and bad firm signaling hypotheses. Inconsistent with the potential moral hazards associated with government bailouts, the investment policies of rescued firms become more conservative after being rescued. Our evidence warns of the unintended consequences of direct purchase rescue programs.

通过直接购买进行危机救助：来自中国的证据

2015 年股市危机期间，中国政府动用了数千亿美元直接在二级市场购买股票。我们发现，与未获救企业相比，获救企业在获救后的流动性显著降低。与流动性枯竭假说和坏公司信号假说相比，后续干预的政策不确定性能更好地解释流动性的减少。与政府救助可能带来的道德风险不符的是，获救企业的投资政策在获救后变得更加保守。我们的证据警示了直接购买救助计划的意外后果。
