摘要

我们研究了银行是否以及如何在罢工后调整其财务状况。通过使用 2006-2016 年期间巴西银行-市镇一级的手工收集数据，我们发现，就在银行罢工之前，银行会大幅增加贷款损失准备金、减少发放贷款、减少持有流动性。这些结果与讨价还价假说相一致，表明银行在预期罢工前计提的当期收益减少，预期现金流减少，向工会披露的现金和现金等价物减少，以抵制工会的寻租行为，增强其在即将到来的工资谈判中的讨价还价能力。

Bank's balance sheet management as a bargaining tool: Evidence from Brazilian labor strikes

We investigate whether and how banks adjust their financial positions in the wake of labor strikes. Using hand-collected data at the bank-municipality level in Brazil during 2006–2016, we find that banks significantly increase loan loss provisions, reduce loans disbursed, and hold less liquidity just before the bank labor strikes. These results are consistent with a bargaining hypothesis, suggesting that banks account for fewer current earnings, reduce expected cash flows, and reveal less cash and cash equivalents to labor unions before the anticipated strikes to counter the rent-seeking behavior of unions and strengthen their bargaining power in upcoming wage negotiations.
