摘要

在20世纪90年代和21世纪初，中国的许多城市信用社随着政府所有制的引入而改革为城市商业银行。我们利用这种银行所有制改革作为准自然实验来评估其对公司期限错配的影响。我们发现，当地企业通过获得更多的长期信贷，减少了对短期债务的依赖。如果城市的财政资源较少，或者企业有较大的财政约束、研发强度或市场竞争，则企业期限错配的减少更为明显。本地企业的资本配置效率也有所提高。我们的研究结果突出了政府所有制在增强流动性和促进增长方面的积极作用。

Government ownership of banks and corporate maturity mismatch: Evidence from China

In the 1990s and the 2000s, many urban credit cooperatives in China were reformed to city commercial banks with the introduction of government ownership. We exploit this bank ownership reform as a quasi-natural experiment to evaluate its impact on corporate maturity mismatch. We find that local firms reduced reliance on short-term debt for investments by obtaining greater long-term credit. The reduction of corporate maturity mismatch is more pronounced if the city has fewer financial resources, or if the firm has greater financial constraints, R&D intensity, or market competition. Local firms’ capital allocation efficiency also increased. Our findings highlight the positive effect of government ownership in enhancing liquidity and promoting growth.
